It doesn't look too bad in this Facebook plant video, but as I say need to see in the flesh:

Looks more like Riviera. I wouldn’t want to be ordering Voodoo blue based on those 3 pictures. It’s much darker and ALOT more saturated than that.

Mine has just left Veracruz, so couple of weeks across the pond to Southampton. The countdown begins. I've just had a set of mirror caps and a plate plinth painted for mine in voodoo blue and I'm so pleased with the colour compared to my current Brooklyn Grey M2.

The pics are clearly well taken, but I think this a home run on a lot of levels.

The silver wheels will make Java appear washed out. It's crazy how much impact on the vehicle color appearance different wheel color can make. I was at a car show with my Z06 which is Inferno Orange Metallic with gloss black wheels & aero. Was parked between two other Inferno Orange Metallic Grand Sports, one with chrome wheels & carbon fiber aero, the other with competition grey wheels and flat black aero. You would've thought all three cars were different colors.

The chrome wheels made that car appear lighter & washed out, while the grey wheels made that car appear more muted/dull, didn't have any pop at all.

Thanks for the info.
Mine is ordered with black but thinking about ordering them in silver since it seems to be what everyone wants so might be easier to sell.
I’m pretty set on doing white wheels on the Java but hoping it won’t wash out the paint like you described. Hoping the contrast will help it more than diminish it

I think the classified section is going to be flooded with silver wheels once the '25s start being delivered. Black on Java is going to look great & make Java pop. I'm not so sure about white though. If Java were a flat color or pearl, white might work, but I don't think so with a metallic. Just my opinion.

Guess I’ll stick with the black and spacers then order the white and see what I like more and sell the lesser of the 2

Agree completely with your point on Java.

But holy $#@*, those pictures of Voodoo look amazing! Might have to consider that if my CS number ever comes up.

The real problem with the wheels is how damn much they weigh. They are cast, and ridiculously heavy.

That's why many of us have replaced them with lighter wheels (825Ms in my case)

I don't think many have been delivered yet. (See post below) I think all of the Twilight cars were built around week 40 - 42 so they may not arrive until later this month. Mine is a week 41 build and is awaiting a train ride I was told.
