Here in the UK it’s ferric grey, same as the wing mirror caps and I believe there’s a wheel in the same colour.
Funnily enough mines the same colour combo but I quite like the grey.... breaks it up a bit.

Ouch, that sucks! The roads has been exceptionally bad this year. The late season ice storm didn't help either.

bummer, so new, still! Good news is, you get a chance to ditch the crappy ride and performance from the RF's, to a real tire!

Looks like you have super hero vision. Regardless, it was a joke. Lighten up.

Maybe a blessing, RF's suck! I hope your rim is ok. Those Conti's should deliver for you.

Agreed. They are garbage. The rim was slightly bent but they balanced it. Yes the Continental's are a huge difference. You feel more connected to the road.

Congrats on the new beauty. Love the colour. My M235 came with MPSS and haven't had any issues with the lovely roads here in Ottawa. Interesting the diffuser wasn't painted, mine is body colour. I guess something they've changed over the years. I see some white one with the black diffuser so maybe it's only with certain colours you get body colour because there's no contrast.

Anyways, enjoy, there really fun cars.

I have the Pierlli run flats too. I did install 4 alloygator rim protectors on them and they have already saved me from rim repairs. I got mine in black and they blend in well with my orbit grey wheels. My next tires will not be RF's.

Yes my diffuser was originally black but thought it looked kinda cheap. To boxie looking.

First time I have heard the name alloygator rim protectors. Just researched it. Looks interesting.

If it's any consolation I blew a PSS sidewall almost the first week of owning the car. Low profile sidewall tires tend to be vulnerable

now I have 19s I almost never drive anywhere I dont intimately know the road and always have Waze on to warn for potholes!

Everyone should be using waze, its a crowdsourced much better version of Google maps (with an admittedly terrible UX)

I love mine. The rep called me after a year to see how I was liking them. Fantastic customer service and they don't fall off like some of the adhesive protectors. They fit in between the rim and tire after deflating the tire. No issues in almost 2 years. Protector has some scuffs but at $25 ea it is cheaper to change out than a wheel refinish which cost me $150.

Great tire choice. Conti makes a very nice tire indeed.
