My new 2018 Finally arrived, however I do not like the wheels - too much black in them - The dealer as part of compensation for a long 6 month wait - (and holding my 51,000 pre-trade in deposit ) - agreed to get a new set of wheels like what I had
on my 2015 SL - and they will box up the wheels that came with the 2018 SL - and give them to me- I am going to sell them either on Craigs list or ebay - or to anyone that wants a new set of wheels - that have 28 miles on them.

I personally don't like cleaning brake dust off wheels all the time so I like the darker wheels.

Car wash once a week or as needed. Here I go to a full service car wash, vacuum interior, windows inside and out, blow dry and towel dry,
hot wax, even in winter water blast under the car to remove any salt. Annual fee of about 250.00 and unlimited visits, every day if you want. Also
hand cleaning of wheels and tire dressing

Dark wheels remind me of the days when hub caps fell off, or when someone never washed their car !
clean looking wheels make the car ! Each to their own !

This picture of my 2017 is very deceptive, or just a great design for brake dust. What the picture does not show are the angled sides of the spokes which are very dark. None of my vehicles have ever been through a car wash. Hand wash only.

I don’t like those 2018 wheels either. I like bright, silver wheels. I do like your multi spoke wheels, Utopia. There have been several posts about brake pads from a company called Racing Brakes. They are supposed to perform as good or better than stock pads, with much less dust. Anyone here tried them?
