Sweet! I have the same wheels on my build.
Curious about how many weeks between Final Assembly/Production Completed and delivery at dealership.

Looks like Continental PremiumContact 6 given the graphic block pattern on the sidewall.

That's correct. I can zoom in on the picture on my phone from the dealer and that's what it says....

Protocol_10 · 05-24-2021, 05:32 PM

Congrats!!!

You will enjoy every second of driving that car.

Since we've got nearly identical specs, you've gotta tell me how you like it!

Vitacura · 05-24-2021, 07:11 PM

Sweet, Congrats! I don't know if I would have the willpower to wait a few days, knowing it was right there!

Unless of course they are working on it? (PPF, Ceramic Coating, Tint etc)

No willpower here at all. Car's 2 hours away and work sometimes gets in the way! Debating getting ceramic on it. I have a local outfit that does that. I know it would look great but I don't have time to hand wash and I know (or think) that stuff doesn't like car washes.

There's a fairly new product on the market called Graphene (which takes the place of ceramic). It's supposed to be more durable and significantly more hydrophobic. I'm scheduled to get my Graphene coating this Thursday, you should definitely ask your local guy about it!

Thanks for the tip! I'll look into it.

xDrivex5 · 05-25-2021, 02:46 PM

Damn good look those black wheels on a black car👍
Everytime I see this, makes me wanna get mine powdercoated asap! I just don't have second set of wheels to put on a car while they powdercoat first ones☹️

john1200c · 05-28-2021, 01:45 PM

She's home! Great ride back from Cape. Lots of traffic so I got to try out all the autonomous driving stuff. I have a lot to learn. Ride is nice on the 22 inch wheels and that's saying something since I had to drive through Boston!

iceRN09 · 05-28-2021, 02:23 PM

Look!! There are no issues with your Merino.. Makes me hopeful that mine will go smoothly. When I see your car. I def will know its you.. LOL. Mine will be White with blackout.. Can't wait till it comes..
