wheel + trim options with night styling

Question for anyone out there who has night styling on their vehicle:

-does anyone have pictures of the forged wheels with night styling? More often than not i see black matte wheels pictured with night styling exterior, curious how the forged wheels look

-also does anyone have pictures of their black piano lacquer trim? any strong opinions on how that trim looks?

car looks great! is that console finish standard if you order carbon fiber trim? also how did you like the forged wheels...do you find them to be more durable?

Thanks! Yes, this is the standard console trim when a car has the interior CF package. I think I answered your wheel question in another thread; I haven't had the car long enough to see gauge the durability of the forged wheels but I took out a t/r warranty just in case.

To me designo Piano Black is "just okay" as it's simply black. To some it might appear to be like black plastic (which is what the center console material is regardless of what trim is chosen). But with the Piano Black the "wood trim" sections of the trim is genuine wood. The plus is that it matches the center console trim.
