I originally wanted to spec the sport aero wheels as I think it looks nicer than the turbo aero.

However, I saw a few owners comment here in this forum saying that it's not very nice, looks cheap, etc.
I may not have a chance to see it in fresh before the lock date so any comments here is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

PS. The 21" wheels look much better but I prefer to keep it to 20". I'd rather save the range and comfort.

I had a look at a load parked up today and they look very different in the flesh.

I'm also in the same boat with turbo aero vs sport aero in 20", and i keep tossing between the two.

The 21" carbon aeroblades look absolutely stunning - i wasn't a fan but they just look incredible in reality, but at a price!

The only ones i didn't get to see were the 21" exclusive, which i think look good and a few people have with black, so they look similar to the carbon aeroblades.

The 21" Mission-E don't look that great with the standard silver rim, but it does look great when black, and the only real open-spoke design, but that of course impacts the range.

The 20" ones then i think are both dissappointing as the high gloss black bits look plastic even though they're not, they're part of the alloy, and cover the majority of the area of the disc.

Not sure that helps - but personally it's either the 20" turbo aero, the 21" exclusive with black or matching rim, or go the whole hog and get the carbon version!

The real world impact of the 21" rims on range is not an issue for me. I regularly get 265 miles on a full charge driving it mostly in Sport Plus and Sport.

I guess it’s different what people like etc. The color on the car also has an influence on what alloys look the best IMO. I find the Turbo wheelS look better than the aero and especially with the logo in full color.

I prefer the turbo wheel, mostly because the disc on the sport wheel ruins the look. I know they are both aero wheels, so they need to cover a lot to be aerodynamic, I just wish they had done it with a little more finesse.

Prefer the 20’’ Aero’s for range and comfort especially on UK roads .
Prefer 21’’ for great looks .
Your thoughts on 20’’ Aero Sport in Black .

I am still wondering why they don't have the 20" winter wheels available as summer wheels.

Do you mean the 20" tequipment design wheels?
Actually, they do, in my country. Well, it only makes sense coz we don't have winter here.

I'm leaning toward 21" exclusive wheels now, purely because of the look. I'm not so sure about the ride quality then. I hope the difference is not much.
Bangkok's roads are far worse than London's. This, I'm sure.

The Turbo Aeros look very nice in real life and I don't think they look fake or bad at all. Absolutely happy with them. I also like the way the red calibers peek through, it's a nice look.
