I don’t understand the whole accessory wheel thing. Why don’t they just offer it as an available finish option like the Satin Graphite and black wheels for an extra $500? It’s the same damn wheel lmao. Why would you want two of the same wheel, paying $3800 for that second set just to get the tech bronze finish? At that price just get a real forged wheel aftermarket that’s a different design, lighter weight, with a proper offset.

Here's mine. They are very light in real life, I would not buy them again...



Clean

Dirty

Clean at delivery.

Standard wheels which are not much different imo.

It’s cheaper to just powdercoat your stock ones. 3800 is a bit steep imo
