Hard to make a fair comment when that is nit ZB nor really anywhere near it. With that being said, I am just not a fan of bronze rims.

I looked into litespeed. They are more expensive, don't have the selection or color options and truly doubt they are that much better, if at all. You are probably paying a bit of premium due to their relationship with Porsche.

There's a specific design I like from them (I think rs5rr) that nothing else has quite come close to. I'd settle for a design like in the photos above (in satin black) if the $ was low enough, but for anything within about 1k of the cost of the litespeeds I'd just pony up the extra and get the litespeeds.

I hear ya, you gotta like the design first and foremost. I am good friends with the owner of a local shop that does my mods and he knows the guys at Vossen and gets great prices (based on their msrp pricing and pricing at other shops). He doesn't, however, have any relationship with litespeed so the price difference is thousands. In addition, he can get Vissen to do a few free renderings for me (although unless the look is off for some reason on the rendering, I know the style and color I am going with).

Does ZB with cognac interior make any sense? I kinda like a bit of color instead of all black.

I'm wrestling with the same thoughts.

I'm leaning heavily towards ZB. I generally prefer bicolor wheels to black wheels, and, I typically prefer brown leather to black.

The problem is, each of those individual preferences adds up to ZB with bicolor wheels and cognac interior which would look more at home on a Bentley than a Bimmer.

Also, because ZB and cognac are both light colors, I'm not sure they'll have enough contrast to look good together.

So, I'm left thinking ZB/cognac interior/black wheels, or ZB/black interior/bicolor wheels.

I really like the idea of a non-black interior though, so could possibly zag completely and choose TR with cognac or BSM with cognac (BG and AW are off the table for me).

I don't know, man. I'm usually too decisive, but I am not having that problem with this decision!

I had that spec'd but my HEA unit was M Highlight seats and that's a good option with ZB so I took it.

The problem with congnac is how it plays with the black interior. If there was more cognac, and/or you plan to customize interior parts with it, I'd say hell yeah do it.

After seeing recent pics of it in detail, unfortunately I recommend not getting it at all in any color combo.

The M Highlight seats work perfectly with the M color door panels. And it's more of a sports car look, especially with a baby blue exterior. I just like a lighter interior to brighten things up, especially in a small car. Maybe white exterior + cognac would go better.

Nah. I have cognac in my F22 M240 and it plays beautifully with the otherwise black interior. Almost everyone who has ridden in it has complemented the cognac color. Only thing wrong is the M color door inserts. I'm going TR and cognac, black wheels, CF trim. Going to be beautiful and reminds me of a ferrari color combo.
