I think this is the best I've seen Aventurine look and it's only "meh" to me.

Yeah- am think it goes back to atleast 2010 (where it was possible to spec black wheels) but probably goes even earlier than that. I dont mind it as much when they are matte finish and in more of a dark grey color but glossy black wheels just look kind cheap to me and ruin the look of most cars.

I've honestly never wanted a Spyder before that one.

Seeing that 718 interior just reminds me how much I like it. Right sized Nav, incorporated into the dash as it should be, real analog gauges and a center stack full of physical buttons!!

Those seats are pretty much the shit also!

Looks like Pirellis, which isn’t my favorite. But the color and silver wheels look pretty good.
