Besides the colour very similar specification to the one my wife has ordered. Keen to hear about how the wider tyres work out.

As you have probably one of the first beats audio cars, would it be possible you could you take a pic of the graphic equaliser screen please.
Just fitted rear speakers and coded them in so would be nice to compare to factory EQ.
Thanks in advance

It's really annoying that with the Firestorm wheels you have to have those little extra bits of trim on the wheel arches just to meet legal requirements.
On the other hand, that's the first detailed view of the wheels that I have seen. I specced them as both my wife and myself thought the standard V3 wheel options were horrible, as well as having the wider tyres. These look a heck of a lot better, and even more so if they come with Michelin Ps4's. I will have to give them a ceramic coating though, or the black bits will look dirty very quickly. Nice one

It's definitely better than the standard system, and the sub definitely underpins everything else, but it's not as good as the B&O system in my previous car. It lacks definition.
I suspect that it's only additional speakers, and the sub, but that they are the same units as the standard car, and not better quality units in the same locations (as I originally anticipated)
i.e. I was expecting more, better quality speakers, and I suspect that I've got more, but same quality speakers.
