New MY2021 G550 Factory Wheel Option-R16

The current 2021 G550 DOG indicates a new wheel option, R16, which is a 20 inch AMG Twin 5-spoke, black (matt?) wheel. However, the G550 DOG does not include a picture of this wheel (it's blank), and the on-line build does not even include the R16 as an option, let alone show a picture. Does anyone happen to have a picture of this new R16 wheel? BTW, looking at the 2021 G63 DOG, I do see an RJ6 wheel option, described as a 21 inch AMG Twin 5-spoke wheel, matt black, but I have no idea if this is similar to the G550 smaller 20 inch R16. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey the DOG thread on this forum has an updated one that has a picture of that rim. It's the same pattern as the 2020 GLS580 ones in 23". I think it's gloss black.

I liked them so much I ended up adding the AMG line and night package just to get them.

Here's a bad photoshop of what my vehicle will look like using a picture off the internet.


The GLS580's version:

I like them, and if I were ordering a 2021 I would select them, and then get them powder coated Satin Black.
