I think he means of the recently delivered cars to dealers... most have some variant of 826M wheels.

OP, I'm in the same boat as you.. I think the silver 825M wheels pop a bit more with certain colors like IOMG. I saw the bi-clor 826M wheels in person and they are still pretty dark; similar to the "black" 666M wheels or the "black" 473M wheels. In most light the lighter portions will appear dark but in certain light the reflections will make it appear less dark. In my picture below, that's about as bright as they get. Like you said, it's a bit muted as compared to the bright silver portion of the 825M.


I found this video on instagram of basically the exact spec I'm thinking of... IOMG over KO with black calipers and silver 825M wheels. I think it looks fantastic. I think the 826M wheels look great and are probably a lb or two lighter, but work better on sportier builds.
