Need help! Which wheels?

Need some input here! Have my deposit down and my build date is in March. Have a few weeks left to make changes and going back and forth on the wheel selection... Have the carbon fiber package spec'd in with the monza grey magno paint and the bengal red interior. Question is, gold 22's which are flashy and look great on the monza grey, or black 21's that are a bit more stealthy and will look great with some aggressive tires swapped in...

Gold is unique and matches well but will be more polarizing when you trade it in.

21’s come with all seasons but since you are swapping out wouldn’t matter.

Both options look great to me.

Finding "aggressive" tires for 21" is almost impossible. Far more tire options in a 22". It's a good looking gold, so it will look pretty sharp on the monza grey. Or, do what I do and opt for the cheapest wheel you can select (typically 20" silver on a G63), then get a forged aftermarket wheel and put on your choice of tire. How much is the 22" gold wheel option? $5,400? You can get a good set of forged wheels fromVossen, AG Luxury or BC Forged in that price range.

Went with the carbon fiber package... So can't do the extra night package... But was thinking I could just swap out the emblems!
