Knowing maintenance costs for the Veyron, I wouldnt be surprised if you needed a special mounting machine made out of unobtanium that could only be used once and then needed to be replaced.

^^^Oh yea....unobtanium!
I think the Veyron is an acquired taste. It's not something you look at and way "Wow!"

Hmmmm. I think I wouldve liked all black wheels instead. And I would have black-housed the head lights. The chrome rings in the tail lights would have also been black. Just me though

It looks as if the edges or the rimes are taped. If this is the case, sometimes the wheels are easier to paint if only the inserts are being done. A mounted tire provides a raised platform and allows the wheel to be placed edge side down. I've done this myself a few times.

It appears as though they tinted the headlights

but you can't see with tinted headlights! I think its retarded to do that (no offense to the people that do) but headlights are pretty damn important

Especially in a car with more than a thousand horsepower. IMO blackhoused looked better anyways. That's just my opinion.

Yea, after seeing the rendering of the black-housing lights, I think the tint looks cheap. In the pic before that post of the front end the tint didn't look that dark. But I dont like it. They should have black-housed them.

The wheels turned out better than I was expecting when I initially saw them. Don't understand why they didn't tint the tail lights since they tinted the headlights (which should've just been black housings).

this is at Sema right now. Saw those pictures posted by L4P, beautiful! I heard that if you want to change your wheels , its policy that you have to take it to the bugatti dealer ?? In this case no

I think the white Veyron looks pretty nice. much better (not even comparable imo) to the Panamera.

Mansory always stirs those mixed feelings. I somewhat agree with what you say, but once you see the car in person, it's another thing. I like it in person and that thing can fvkn haul! Thanks BBI.

The Panamera atrocious. I don't doubt the performance is there, but it's still ugly. I'd pass. I'd rather roll slower and look good than be faster and
