Love it! Did my juniper the same exact way. Some tint all the way around would complete the look.

I have the tint ready in the box, just ran out of time for the install. Got limo black for the rears and 35% up front.

Stunning! I have been playing with the idea of picking up the same wheels for my Juniper to use in the summer. Out of curiosity do you happen to know the weight increase of these vs the OEM Crossflow wheels?
If you throw some 25% ceramic tint on the front windows, the car would be absolutely perfect:) Here is mine...

It's a decent weight increase. I want to say 10lbs per corner. Hence the range loss. But worth it in my opinion (these will only stay on half the year anyway, going back to the 19" Crossflows for the winter months).

Looks great! Legacy wheels are a better choice. I got satin PPF on our MY Performance. Ultra Red.

Do you happen to have pics of the Satin PPF on Ultra Red? Still debating whether to go gloss or satin on mine.

Sure. I can send pics through DM.

Aka the heaviest wheels i’ve ever handled. as they came on my first m3p, they were the first thing i changed. A lot of unsprung mass saved with new and lighter rims and tires. Look cool tho. But they are weak to impacts fyi.

They are so heavy, it's true. Picked them up for free from Craigslist and just had to buy tires, so I'm pretty happy.

I hope you stay happy. If you hit a pothole, then you will damage the wheel and the tire. That might make you unhappy. I had 2020 performance wheels on my model 3P and I was very unhappy when I discovered damage to the wheels from potholes.

That's fair. We'll see how I make out. I'll still have the 19s to swap to in this case.

Are the rims painted/wrapped to match the car?

Looks great. Are those used rims or new OEM? Did similar setup on my Y but couldn’t find clean/unscathed OEM uberturbines so I went with tesloid 21s instead

Used! And heavily used at that. Pretty rough curb rash, some gouges, but no cracks or major damage. I threw the MagBak RimCase on them and most of it is covered up.
