I think the new ones look fine. But they look like a real pain to clean.

I've got the original versions of the 2023 order guide and price list that were published in March and the Q99 and the other new wheels are shown on them. Did you "order" your 2023 before these documents were published and instead base your order on what was available on the 2022?

Any idea about what shade of red caliper will match the Q9A red stripe wheel best?

Maybe the TR caliper and red stripe on wheel will have good contrast? It probably doesn't matter much either way anyway once the break dust settles.

The wheel stripe is edge red, so the edge red calipers are a perfect match.
