I flew 700 miles to get the exact M2 I wanted. Made for a good weekend trip, and a good drive back down to NC. You'll be happy either way, welcome!

It seems that SO owners gravitate towards the silver wheel options more than HS, which almost all I've seen are the black wheels.

Usually I'm all about black wheels. But in my option the silver just works so well with this color!

The difference between "black" and the silver is very subtle. The black is just a dark tint on the silver wheels. Here is a picture of the "black" 788 in bright sunlight.

I agree, I had to look at the build sheet to make sure I got the 'black' wheels because they looked silver to me. Seems to matter on lighting and maybe angle. Some times they look black and other times I would swear they were silver.

Ah yes, I see now I have mistaken a few that were black for silver. Lighting makes a huge difference with these wheels

Yeah, I'm not a fan of all black wheels generally, but these have a very nice finish and look different in different light and so I went for it

I would never buy a white car, but having lived with my HS for 2 months now I can tell you the car is anything but white. Does it look white sometimes? Sure. But the other times that it looks Silver, grey, blue (ish), chalk, more than make up for any white sightings. Its truly a beautiful color in any lighting situation

Yeah after finally seeing what the 'black' 788 wheels look like and realizing they just look like dirty versions of the bi-color ones, I've already arranged to have my dealer to paint my 788 'black' wheels into the same black as the 763Ms. (pic below)

Haha, I cant argue that now that you say it. The brake dust blends in pretty well with the wheel color

So credit to Anthony1s over in the Wheels/Tires forum. I asked if someone could photoshop a SOM with actual black 788 wheels (like the 763M black color I'm going to have mine painted to). So Anthony1s did and here's what it looks like...can't wait!

I didn't see any pics of white lettered tires so I thought I'd share. I plan to get some machine black titan ts5s then I think I'll have the look I want.

Love this thread. SO really speaks to me. If I ever tire of my BSM OG, you guys have confirmed that my next move is into a SO M2C.

Nice!
I just hit the Dragon Memorial Day weekend. Lots of rain during my runs. I did purchase a few photos and will upload them when available.
