Alpine White vs. Carbon Black for M-Sport Shadowline?

Wanting to order a 45e in the next few months. Have looked through pretty much every post on the M-Sport thread but still torn between ordering either Alpine White or Carbon black. Got inspiration from Atlas' and Fatalgarage's builds, planning to lower and add spacers but would be great to stay with 20s since my wife will be driving it mostly

Does she has some kind of driving limitations for riding bigger wheels? 😂😂

Haha worried she'll curb the wheels with 22s - at least 20s have a bit of sidewall as a buffer

Exact reason I opted for the, imo less desirable, 740m wheels. The 22s would last about a week before they're curbed, bent, tires all bubbled up, etc.

Just my opinion but I think white cars look better with chrome accents and black cars look better with dark accents.

Go bold and get a color....life is short to live in black and white!
(From a guy who ordered and took delivery of Phytonic Blue
But, if you must, Carbon Black is an awesome color - will require more washing but it's beautiful in the sun and I'd go that direction 100%

Just keep in your mind, CB is high maintenance to keep it clean. But when it's clean, it looks amazing.
