Default Volution grey/diamond turned photos

Does anyone have these wheels that would be willing to post a photo? For some reason I can't find any real life photos of these wheels for comparison with body colors. They must not be very popular?

You are right. Very hard to find actually shown on a car.

Yeah, I've seen the website photo. Wish I could find a few shots of them in the wild. I'm between these and the orbits with the same finish.

I see why they're not very popular. I don't think they are very well-suited to the F-Type, but they might look good on something else. However, wheel preference is truly a matter of personal taste.

Upon closer examination, not the same wheel. Too bad, as this might be yet another reason to come to Maine (it's at my dealership - along with one in Ebony Black with the same wheels - in Scarborough, Maine). Close, but no cigar.

They are the default wheels for the S, just with a dark finish along the interior of the spokes. I'm on the fence. I like the orbits too.

Actually same wheel, but the stock silver finish. The ones I was inquiring about are merely a darker finish.

The 19" Propellers were the default wheel on my 2016 S.

The Volutions seem to be the default wheel on 2016 AWD S cars.

As with so many things, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In other words, there is no right or wrong wheel but solely a matter of personal taste. To each his/her own.

In my opinion, while there are many beautiful wheels to choose from, I actually LOVE my OEM Propeller Wheels*** which came on my 2015 V6S. So much so that I purchased an extra brand new set to serve as my winter set up (although, based on early indications, I might just be satisfied with my Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 year-round! To be seen...).

***Particularly so given that so many F-Type owners get or opt for something else.

I think they're really nice. Much better than the standard option imo.

If anybody has a set of these they don't need (say, if you're upgrading to 20"+ wheels) give me a PM -- I might be interested in buying them.
