Y'know, if the rim flange wasn't so big and noticeable I might actually like those Edition 1 rims. Car looks fantastic in both pictures though.

Thats true Trim, I suppose the wheel could be repainted to deal with that.

Agreed, the rim flange is too deep on the twin spoke wheel but the wheel in the second pic doesn't seem to be available in the UK at all. The yellow rim version of this is only an option on the Edition 1 "Motorsport" pack.

Indeed, could be an option, but still a bigger fan of the cross spoke rims!

You're right Dragon, it's only available with the yellow rims flanges in UK which just doesn't look right imo.

I'm with you on the cross spoke.

But as it's easier to fit aftermarket wheels than other options which are only factory fitted, I chose the twin spoke, later on I will be able to decide on changing them when the car is due new ' boots '

Yes indeed. It made me wobble on my colour decision

Sticking to silver, current car has the white/black look.

Good choice, iridium silver will show off that gorgeous shape and lines just as much as the whites

In the UK the only "deep flange" is the yellow 5-twin spoke design and you have to buy the Edition 1 Motorsport version to get that.

The guy taking these shots is using some kind of HDR filter but it does make the cars look damned good.

If I were buying the 'S' it would certainly be
the combination of Iridium, 19/20 black forged alloys finished of
with the red callipers.

Outstanding combo.

Unfortunately I don't intend tracking my car so would not benefit from
the extras which the 'S' has over the base car.

Was just about to post that first 'flying' shot in the selenite thread, that has got to be one of the coolest shots I've seen so far of the coupe. Can't wait to be doing some of that myself in a few more weeks
