Thank you all for your help. I am considering painting the wheels in mat black or mat extrior color. What do you thing would look better?

 

Get the wheels done in exterior colour but in matte, matte black is well played out

 

Thanks MeanMachine, my preference was for exterior color and not black.

 

not a fan of the two tone... especially in those 2 color bominations

 

Honnestly I would have preferred ordering one with the options that I like but the problem in ordering one right one is that it is going to be a March or April production and will be delivered in may or June. Which means that the 2010 model will be very close to a 2011 model but 2010 production.

 

Sounds awful to me!

Thanks Tro for your your comments. My thoughts:

Well it is meant to improve visibility when cornering but I did not try it yet and I am not sure if the difference can be noticed. Has anyone tried it?

that is what I thought until I tired them. They really make a big difference in particular in urgent breaking. I know they are meant to last longer and not get overheated from extreme use, but they are more effective for sudden breaking than normal S breaks. I also think that on the long run, the investment will pay back because of the reduced number of break change.

I found out when trying both that you could an improved seating position with the power seats because seats can be positioned with a greater degree of precision. I could not find a comfortable driving position with manually operated seats. I would have also gone for sport seats, but I like the ventilated seats options (obviously because of the hot weather in here) and this option does not come with the sport seats.

They are standard on the 2010 model

a friend had them and they keep making this loud disturbing noise everytime the tyre pressure changes. Not sure that I want it.
