Which wheels and brakes do you like with Enzian Blue?
I wanted Laguna Seca, but it's "no longer available". After much deliberation and internet searching I decided to go with Gentian/Enzian (English/German) blue. I'm debating on wheels and brakes. What's your vote and why? I like the idea of the red calipers, but not sure if they are out of place with the blue. I think I like the brighter color of the 825M bi-colors.

first of all:
amazing color choice ! i would go with the red caliper. Wheels is totally a question of taste...i really like the 826, but the 825 are more subtle and classy. So up to you but either way I would take bicolor with this blue |

Yeah, I have waffled back and forth between 825 and 826. I just wish I could see the car color and the wheels in person to know for sure. Best you can do with all this stuff is educated guess based on theoretically correct looking Internet pictures and then hope it looks good when you finally see it in person.

I like the look of booth wheels with your color choice. 825 is more unique while 826 is apparently the better performance option. I’d personally go with 826, it looks to be an amazing wheel for the price when optioned from the factory and an opportunity hard to miss out on.
Caliper color is difficult, red could work but the risk of the Superman curse is obvious |

They all look good but #3 to me looks the best as I feel like the 826M have a premium aftermarket wheel look

I actually usually hate aftermarket wheels because they always look aftermarket. The 826's are still great looking wheels though. I've gone back and forth between the 2.

"Unfortunately, Laguna Seca Blue is no longer available. I can offer Santorini Blue (327), Gentian Blue (W37), Pure Blue (W87) or Voodoo Blue (P7L) as alternatives. Pricing is $4,500 and will require two additional weeks lead time."

I decided on the red with that small splash of color reasoning.

However when the 825M lies next to the 826Ms in the same video for me the 826M look a lot more premium. You can’t go wrong though, just great or greater kind of choice. |
