2016 Performance Package Wheels with NICKEL FINISH- anyone seen these yet?
One of the few changes available on the 2016 is the nickel finish on the PP wheels...they sound pretty nice! The renders from the "Build n' Price" tool are all I can come up with.
Has anyone seen these in person yet? Does anyone own a set?
^Thanks... those look very silver.
I was anticipating something darker, at least like the 2011-2014 Brembo package wheels (also called nickel finish from Ford)
Are we sure that those are the new OEM nickel finish and not someone who hit them with a rattle can or some Plastidip?

That pic is at a Ford dealership and still has the window sticker. I doubt it has been plastidipped or painted.

Nah the Nickle Finish was always silver (think of the standard 5-spokes and optional 19" 5-spokes).
Dark Stainless is the finish of the Track Pack wheels (and what the AMRs and SVE Drifts come in also).
I saw one the other night, I'm not a fan of black Rims or the new PP ones and was excited with the option of the Nickle finish but disappointed after seeing them in person. Even at night they have too much of a bright silver finish and very busy looking. Makes my 14 Track Pack rims look like a cinch to clean now.
They should have gone with a gunmetal instead of nickel.

This is what I was expecting/hoping for...though nickel isn't that dark, it just seemed to imply that it would be something other than straight up silver, which is apparently what they meant.
That said, they look ok. The black version looks a little better (IMO) but they're both pretty nice.
You wouldn't want these wheels. They're even heavier than the already too-heavy Track Pack wheels. The offset is too high, so they'd be tucked in even more, and yes they'd be a b*tch to clean!
Yeah the perf pack wheels are a pain to clean and even in the standard color they look like crap after a few days. The black does nothing to hide dust and dirt.

Really? I have the performance package and the gloss black wheels do an exceptionally good of hiding brake dust.
