Extremely frustrating that there are no black wheel options when you configure a R55/58/59 w/the JCW Exterior Package. You either get Silver Challenge or Conical wheels.
What if I want to throw some black Challenge or Conical wheels on a Pepper White & Black R58?
Actually the JCW offers the challenge cross spoke, (hope I'm saying correctly) wheels as an option.
I have both the black and silver
Silver for my summer performance tires
Black for my winter tires
The JCW Challenge rims in black are only available on factory JCW, or purchased separately thru the parts department. Not possible on a stock MCS order. Exterior JCW package offers silver rims only.
It's always been that way unfortunately...
I assume that is so they "encourage" you into buying the JCW vs just the package. They also limit the red sport stripes option to only those with the ext option or the JCW model.
