I'm speechless about this wheel. Gorgeous, but intricate.

This has to be one of the most unusual rims fitted to a modern car. Certainly very eye catching rims. It looks like it has 2 layers of spokes with an upper layer and a lower layer. The spokes are spider web thin. I would be very surprised if these are 3D printed wheels. They look like a pain in the ass to clean though.

Wow this baby blue leather is really eye catching. I kinda like it as it is so different. The only thing I would probably change is the trim panels, I would have gone for some light wood or metal effect trim.

The wheels are high pressure die castings, intricacy isn't really one the selling points, but interesting nontheless. https://interestingengineering.com/energy/bmw-mercedes-get-recycled-aluminum-wheels
