20" AT wheels. Bright vs Dark.

Why you chose one vs other???

It’s just a personal choice, but I would describe the black 20” more accurately as black chrome. If you catch them at a certain angle, they reflect brighter direct light and have a mirror effect.

The front wheel here almost captures the reflectiveness, but when I first pulled into the Denver service center earlier this week, thought these were the brights.

Depends on truck color imo

When I saw a picture of Launch Green and the 20” darks just off the line, I was sold except for the extra cost. After a couple months and more videos with them, I updated the configuration and went for it.

I should learn more on Monday after my Guide intro call about my R1S delivery timeline.

This video also helped in my decision.

Is that your truck?

@MattyJ, any info on quality of either wheel, how grey vs black tend to age, I believe the A/T are the only wheels that are forged so they are both quite strong.

^Not mine, I’m in the back of the bus. That’s in the employee parking area.

They are pricey at $3500 but I chose the dark 20” forged wheels for my Glacier White Explore. I just love StormTrooper vibe of the combo.

Beautiful truck, but those are not the black A/T

Correct, it was the closest pic I could find.

Here is a pic of the forged 20” wheel I configured for my Explore.

Replacement tires, Pirelli Scorpion 275/65/20, run about $315 each as opposed to over $400 for 21” Pirelli replacement tires.

Nothing other than history with other surfaces. Matte grey will likely hide scratches better. The black chrome might be able to polish out mild scratches but will show more dust etc.

Great looking wheel.

LG, ceramic, and dark wheels here look terrific. Like the wheels would go with something different for winter tires.
