I saw one on the road this morning just like this... black with these Y-spoke 20s... first time for me in person. Absolutely gorgeous. I had the honor of following it for a good mile and I couldn't take my eyes off it. If I were getting a 4.8 with Y-spokes, I'd definitely go black... but I'm just going with the 3.0si and 19s in alpine white (if I'm pulling the trigger soon - damn you 3.0sd). One other concern with the 20s of course is the snow thing and having to switch back and forth every other season.

Kaify, this is how this works - in order to ensure that the brakes never make a squeak (otherwise everyone would be running back to the dealer to get them “fixed”) they use very soft pads.

These don't make any noise, ever, hot or cold, but dust a lot - your rims will be very dirty the first time you take a ride after cleaning your rims. This is normal, in my experience, with these pads.

See if you can get a pair a Axxis Deluxe Plus pads shipped to you and have somebody swap them out for you - you'll cut the dust down by about 60%

Cheers,
Keith

Sorry, missed this originally - about 150mm across the long axis, and 130mm across the short axis.

Cheers,
Keith

1) No aero kit
2) The driving characteristics
3) If the switch is set left the passegner mirror will turn down, not both
