C8 optional wheels
Has anyone else noticed some of the optional wheels for the C8 appear to have a second set of spokes behind the ones you see toward the front. Perhaps to lessen the bending/cracking issues on the C7?

The Eyes Have It
A little bit of an optical illusion. The Spectra Gray spokes seem to be in the background because your eye sees the polished spoke on first glance. Looks can be deceiving. Told my wife that and she bought it for 40 years.

If you're looking at the playbook the wheels weren't shown correctly. They have the two wheel designs overlayed over each other.
