Oh, you're right it does look nice. Would still prefer black but it fits nicely.

The thought of curbing my black 19" wheels haunts me every night. I should've opted for alloy (non black).

That's something I've considered myself as well. Once it needs to be refinished, there's almost no way to get it to match other wheels

I have coded the top view camera to be enabled whenever I want no matter what speed nor distance and it has helped me a lot when driving into parking garages, or driving through small streets, ... One of the better options imho. So useful if you do not want damage your black wheels.

The dark alloy (black/silver) 19" wheels give me the impression (especially at first glance) of the car being a large Matchbox toy car... does anyone else feel this way?

This is one big reason why I just can't seem to like them... and I'll admit I've played with many Matchbox toy cars when I was a kid.... but don't want that look in my daily driver in my middle age!!

What say you?

Thanks, now I can't unsee this.
