I think he was being facetious.

2 choices only. The 3rd you've listed represents photoshop efforts, or other wheels installed by someone instead of the 2 options actually available.

Look above, he was making a joke.

Here're the 2QT silver wheels on a LBB next to the 29U black on a HS. Not a big difference though.

Very helpful, thank you.

Thanks! 2QT are so much nicer!

It’s also a great comparison of blue vs smurfblau and HS v white. Good job.

BishUK · 07-24-2018, 08:48 AM

Glad I switched from Black to 2QT Silver, for my liking too much of the detail of the wheel gets lots when viewing the black off axis.

Finally, a real photo of the 2QT wheels.

(Thank you!)
I'm sticking with my choice (2QT instead of 29U) with HS...

Figures the first pics of 2QT would be from a moving vehicle.

macphin · 07-24-2018, 05:10 PM

Here're some more photos the 2QT silver wheels on BSM and HS.

Do you have the VINs for the cars? Depending on lighting the 29U wheels can look the same. This is why it's been so confusing.

P.S. Would really love some close up pics of the BSM M2c.

I am 99% sure these are 2QT. The pics from an angle are the giveaway. The 29U can look bright when looking at the wheel face directly, but they always look very dark from an angle.

macphin · 07-25-2018, 02:00 AM

No, don’t have the VINs but quite sure these are the 2QT. They look bright even from the angle. Here’re some close up pics of the BSM.

Colinv6 · 07-25-2018, 02:15 AM

Have to say I much prefer the silver ones, especially on the black, and HS cars!

StLuis51 · 07-25-2018, 03:25 AM

The 2QT wheels are looking really good. I might change my order to these on my SO car.

BishUK · 07-25-2018, 04:12 AM

Apologies if a stupid question, but is the FMIC mounted flat on the S55? Good to see how the new aero slits in front bumper work/channel air into IC, but looks like IC is laying flat?

....BSM looking mean as! (even without the upgraded brakes!)

S55 has Top Mounted IC (TMIC) as opposed to the FMIC on N55.

I see, what we can see in the pic above (underneath the nose of black M2C) is oil cooler or radiator then?

The oil cooler actually lays flat underneath the radiator.

Not a fan of that design.
