Hopefully we can get all the respondents in the color poll to answer here as well.

It's amazing how far we will go for clean wheels. I am even considering wrapping the whole damn car in PPF that self heals so I never have to polish it ever!

After 200km my wheels are already dirty, but black wheels would have hid it pretty well as a no cost option.

I'm sure every time I look at my dirty wheels I think about the ccb decision. However, these wheels don't appear to be the most challenging to clean. I'm really looking forward to all the CCB reviews though. I think this will be the first time that a lot of folks with the option are taking delivery around the same time.

$8500 for CCB.
Assuming $300 for a detailing job. That's about 28 detailing jobs that can pay for. Assuming you get 4 detailing sessions per year. You can have a clean car AND clean wheels without you having to lift a single microfiber cloth for 7 years if a clean car is all you're looking for out of the brakes. lol |

Wheels get dirty so fast that I completely understand why some folks chose the option. If it weren't for a few other concerns of mine I would have bought them also. For me, the CCB option made the car less "bullet proof". Fact or fiction, I don't know, but fortunately/unfortunately one's own perception is all that matters.

Yep, and I thought about getting another set of rotors and pads. Then I have to schedule to trips to the shop to get things swapped bacause I don't have the time, space, or interest to do it myself.

Voted for another bump as this is interesting.
Somewhat surprised DCT + CCBs are only 6% of respondents, I see that combo a lot on Euro builds. |

I'm somewhat regretting not getting the CCBs in my manual car after driving the car.
(which wasn't a custom order but a car i bought "off the lot"). The steering and road feel is amazing, but I have to imagine the weight savings could have made it even more special. Just wanted to post that note here for anyone using this thread to make a buying decision (like i certainly did in weighing pros and cons). |

In retrospect, this will be a super low mileage garage queen with no track time so the CCBs would have been ideal. Still, the cost... |
