Jimmy540i WOW!!! I am impressed, your beloved SS is a first class Slingshot for sure. Thanks for the BD Wishes and sharing your SS.
Thank you Sir
Happy SlingRiderithday ~
spotted this, gotta give it to the GTR owner. He made this world a better place LOL!
thoughts?
I'm running Niche Turin M170s, front and back.
Nice ! Are these forged wheels? do you know the weight? Are they 19 F & 20 R or 20 All around? Thanks.
Your wheels are definitely more of the "FIVE-SPOKE" than mine:
OK - here goes. An honest, personal opinion. I like the new ones better. They look more like mags than spokes. Just my humble opinion.
Thank you so much, my thoughts the same.
May I ask if you are currently running the blk OEM SLR Wheels? Are they lighter than the OEM SL Wheels (+ TIres)?
Just saw on the Polaris site that the SLR wheels are Forged Aluminum vs SL's Cast Aluminum so wonder how much lighter they are
I think the raw CF is a better match to the rest of your Slingshot.
Thank you so much for your feedback and I would appreciate if you can vote at the poll
to a homie's crib
still here right now
Agree with OrangeSlingFL Glossy. It keeps with the shiny look of the slow Red Sling. Should make it almost as fast as the orange ones. 🤣
LOL
Raw looks way better.... as long as it isn't harder to keep clean!
Glossy CF looks better.
Thanks guys, here's my take. My SS is wrapped with many Raw C/F like these:
The only 3 pieces of the Glossy C/F are the 2 rear humps and the front nose, see here:
Humps:
Here's the front nose:
So I figured it would be nice to have the side mirrors glossy (as a matching contrast to the Humps & Nose), however, once I received the Glossy covers, I was into a long debate lol...
One interesting fact is that the RAW C/F mirrors are more reflective at night (in the dark) and the GLOSSY C/F Mirrors are shinier in daylight.
Please keep the polls coming, thank you.
(PS: sorry for the watermarks as I just pulled these pictures off my site and I don't know how to delete the 3 thumbnails at the bottom of this post which I deeply apologize)
Guys, trying to get some feedback here, just got the glossy carbon fiber covers for my side mirrors, when I was about to install, I realized that my current set-up is not so bad after all....
So I decide to start a poll before I peel off the current raw c/f and install the glossy c/f cover, please let me know which one you prefer so I can make a final decision.
THANK YOU ALL!
Your votes & feedback will be MUCH appreciated
#1 or #2?

Just me mind you, ...But there isn't much of a difference between them to make a difference...??
Thanks. As I said I am the 5-Spoke-WHeel junkie, here are my other vehicles and do focus on the all the wheel designs I choose:
my 540i (Wheel Set#1):
my 540i (Wheel Set #2, this one is very old shcool):
my 540i (Wheel Set #3):
my 360:
my 360 (Wheel Set #1):
my 360 (Wheel Set #2):
my 325:
my murcielago:
my 911:
my Giulia:
my 996:

Now if you look again to the wheels on my SS, you could tell them apart

The dust has nothing to do with the wheels!
These new wheels do collect way more bake dusts than the old wheels for sure, I would assume the color would be to blame u think?
The new ones look a little more like a tuning fork than the old ones. I like them, but with as much brake dust as i get on mine i might have to go with a teflon coating.
Yes, the new wheels gets TONS of brake dust which is becoming an issue now. Didn't see that coming
You could always get the new ones painted, they definitely are pretty.
Thank you, I prefer the new ones being all aluminum color tho
The new ones are 😎!!
NEW
Definitely the new ones.
👍new ones....
I like the new but I am willing to bet they are the same old pita to clean.
Thank you for your input. I like them both.
Pros on the Old Wheels: The old wheels gives the "Definite-Five-Spoke" Look which I really like. Though the new wheels are Five-Spoke design, they look a lil "Mashed" while looking from the side.
Pros on the New Wheels: They have an more aggressive look vs. the old. And since the entire wheels are the same color (the inside of the old wheels are painted black by the factory), they give a much "Clean-Look" IMHO.
More of your inputs are appreciated! Would like to gather more thoughts.
Here's a one more comparison pic:
Let me know your thoughts on New vs. Old.
Cheers!
