Ordered the Diamond cut gyrodyne alloys as part of my options, they are as in picture, just wondering do all the gyrodynes with the cut polished face such as mine come with the grey painted background, think they would have looked better in black, not a fan of the grey on the rims IMO, but i don't think the wheels come in black surround.

 

This was a separate style offered through 2016. Yours will be all silver.

 

If you ordered the diamond-cut, then you will get the exact wheel pictured. For the gyrodyne, the two options are all silver or the dark grey with the diamond cut front surface (even to this day).

 

Correct, they don't come in a black finish but you could always have a local vendor powder-coat them black if that's your thing. I personally think they look MUCH better with the contrast

AGREED
My car was on the lot with the SILVER Gyrodynes. I felt that the "Diamond-Cut" way a more attractive wheel and had attempted to have the dealership switch wheels for me with the dark grey ones from another car they had on their lot. While the dealership willing, it would have cost me $3,500 more more than the negotiated price which placed that approach beyond reality. I have the silver front fender & windows trim so the silver wheels actually work well but if you go the black pack, the Dark Grey Diamond cut is the better look IMHO

 

@powerhouse; what color exterior/interior combo do you get? Did you order the black pack?

 

I'd be happy with them with the grey, it holds up better than the black IMO because black shows brake dust when the grey doesnt. I've had that style on 2 cars (v40T5 CC and the XE) and they have been my favorites. The XE can go 6 weeks between washes and you dont even know there is crud on the wheels.

 

jaguny I have the cirrus leather/suede interior and the exterior gloss black pack, love the way the wheels have the diamond cut but as i said , not a fan of the surrounding grey color, more pics of my car on this post, it's the 2.0

+1. The brake dust is the exact same color as the dark grey wheels. When I do a quick detailing on the car, I just clean and polish the diamond cut areas. Less than 15 seconds/wheel. Iknow...I'm lazy, but more time for driving.

 

Have to agree with you there on the dust point Unhingd, the dust dosn't show up to bad, i do the clean the diamond cut areas also. Think i'll let the grey grow on me for a while

 

I have a full set of four Diamond cut and Dark Grey Gyrodyne rims available for sale if anyone is interested. Less than 10,000 miles on the road, no curb rash, one small rock chip in one wheel. Tires and TPMS not included.

Retail NEW for almost $3,900.00. OEM Part Numbers: T2R12014 and T2R12015.
Send me a private message if interested.

 

Powerhouse, I can see why you want the wheels black with your exterior color. The tornado and carbon fiber wheels look great on that color. I wonder if going black on gyrodynes would make a big difference? My car is white and I have the diamond cuts. I originally was wanting the carbon fiber wheels, but couldn't pass on the car I bought. I may be able to take a crack at a photo shop type photo touch up of mine in black, but I'm not the most skilled. I'll post if I think it's even in the ball park of looking reasonable.

 

Very quick black render. Not the best, but in a hurry.

 

Do you still have them available?

 

If you go to Marketplace pulldown tab. then to Member Market Marketplace. There is at least one set there, although with winter tires.

 

Jaguny,

He has someone coming to see them this week. So they are probably sold but I should assume yours are sold?

 

Mine are in boxes in my garage at work. The earlier post in this thread was from another member. Mine have a scuff on 2 of the 4 wheels, I was quoted $250 wheel to repair. I didn't think it was worth refinishing them and selling them.

 

Jaguny,

How bad is it? Can you send me photos to my email sreus@rbearingscorp.com? How much you want on all four?

 

My dealer powder coated my silver gyrodynes black. Clean up is super easy, but I'm still in the honeymoon phase washing the car on a weekly basis!

 

Jaguny,

Could you send me photos? I know they are in boxes. How bad are the scrapes? No bends or cracks?

 

Yes, I can. No bends or cracks. I'll get them out tomorrow and post some photos or email them to you.
