Question on wheels for M50

All,

My build is only at planned to start production with no VIN assigned yet.

My color I ordered was frozen pure grey. I ordered the 21 m jet black matte 1037M wheels with blue calipers.

I am now thinking whether I should change to 21m jet black bicolor 1037m wheels keeping blue calipers.

What are people's thoughts - experience

Don’t ask me. Both my cars have black wheels. The m50 has?

It's very subjective. I personally think all-black wheels are rather uninteresting visually because all the details get lost. I prefer something with a little bit more contrast. But I know others feel differently.

Another factor to consider though: dirt will look a bit more obvious on jet black wheels. Not a biggie, especially if you get the wheels ceramic coated. And since you're getting a frozen body color, presumably you'll be getting protection and coating already anyway. But just something to keep in mind.

If you don’t want to spend 1700 on all season tires for the 21s like I did go with the 20s it’ll come with all seasons stock.

I’m spending 1700 on wheels and 1700 on tires. Don’t often see snow here (if it does snow it melts by 11:00 then next morning) but I won’t run summer tires in cold weather.
