Second time I chose Atomic wheels. First, I put AW01s on my 22 MS. In gloss, black, staggered with bluish burned ti lug nuts. The blue actually matched the blue S color. It looked clean, gloss flowing from blue to black...
Anyways, Model 3 Perf in silver. I did not want the black on this. Just too many cars in light with black wheels. I do like the spoke design on the factory, but they look too busy after removing the inserts especially with all the push in holes along the rim face. I thought I'd check more places, but ultimately I found AW17 and from that point, my mind was set. The Titan color. I do like a black wheel, I thought. Indecisive, I've had the black set of AW17 in the card already, thinking I'd go with the proven color. Thankfully, Ricardo form Atomic wheels got a hold of me, and was very happy to show off a real titan set from their first batch of the titan styled AW17s. I immediately cleared my cart and gone with the Titan. Looking at the car now, and seeing all the black wheel drab around me I am not regretting a thing.
The form is undeniable - the flow of flush, industrial look of a bare metal nicely contrasting with the black lug nuts, tires, and the screaming red calipers.
Handling is undeniable - weight savings, gnurling, balance, all top notch.
Savings are undeniable - square setup, much better efficiency on the Yoko tire.
Atomic wheels is undeniable.
I hope I am still around for the third round some day :).
