Aesthetically I prefer Spyder wheels and initially I regretted not buying it but I wanted to keep the vehicle under the sensible £60k.

I like to travel across the moat and having done +10,000km in the last 4 months, I am happy that I took standard 18” wheels, as I cannot see the footballer-wheels while I drive anyway and I have gone through many potholes and curbs across Scotland, England, France, Spain and Italy. The 18” added needed cushioning for the rims and our dentures. An alternative would be to spend £2500 on wheels and another ~£2000 on air suspension to restore the comfortable ride [emoji2357]

Having said that, if my vehicle primary objective was to do domestic runs on familiar roads, I would take the Spyder wheels, they look the business!

I'm tempted by the Spyder wheels but they must a pain to clean.

I've still not fully decided on colour, Volcano is possible as is partial mojave inside. If I go for Volcano I might drop the privacy glass.

Anyway...the big test is on Tuesday.

My mate is just off to order this one for his Mrs

Was going S and then I made the mistake of telling him about turbo.

+1. Nearly £91k on a Macan! Blimey!

Yes that is some spec..

It should compliment here ML63 quite nicely

This is fraction of the price of his toy cars

A little bit tricky, however the satin black ones are even worse! The satin ones really show up brake dust, and after washing are usually covered in water spots.

I cannot recommend Wheel Woolies enough - they save loads of time cleaning the wheels. The large brush in particular works really well on the Spyder design.
