Default Picked up the R

Went down to Atlanta to pick up the car yesterday, and drove it back to Nashville. What a great ride back through the mountains. I think the black wheels on the stratus looks great.

Outstanding!

The black rims really give it that "sinister" look. Punch it one good time for me! Enjoy!

Looks great!
I can't tell if the red calipers are on just the front wheels or also the back... Do you have a side profile photo?

I'm also waiting for a stratus grey, so.... Great choice!

Love the color combo. Congrats!!

Also, Whirlinturbin, Black Pack is now available on all 2015.5 model year cars (June production). I do all the orders for Galpin Jaguar in LA and the first thing I did was order a stratus Grey R Coupe with Black Pack and Gloss Black Tornado wheels. Cant wait to see it!!!

The red is on both the front and the back. It's the angle why you can't see it very well in the back, but you can get a glimpse of it on one of the shots.

Thanks guys. I've enjoyed it driving to work today.

Stratus grey with black tornado wheels. It does look "black" in this picture, but you can tell the difference between grey and the black wheels.

I'm not sure I agree. Or at least, it's difficult to tell from this photo.
This is a picture in broad daylight with very high dynamic range.
Unless the photo has enough bit depth that you can adjust the tone a bit, most cameras will not be able to resolve contrast in this photo that will be obvious to the human eye. So the car in the photo appears darker than it actually is.
Try going to a dealer to take a look?

These photos seem to capture the contrast a little better....maybe they will be helpful.

I would go with what you want. I like the black gloss tornados on my stratus, so personally don't care if you think it looks good or not. I know you're trying to figure out the right wheels. So I think you already know the answer for yourself which seems like you should go with the silver wheels with stratus.

Hey Billykmd,

If you want to help this guy out, the picture that your salesman sent you shows the Stratus gray color against your black wheels perfectly. I just took another look at it and the picture shot on the showroom floor shows the stratus color better than your outside shot. I still say the combo you chose is outstanding!
