For those of you who are fortunate to have an R model, please take a close look at your front wheels. Any idea why they are not completely painted on the inside but the rear wheels are?

The inside of the fronts have a ceramic heat barrier because of the proximity to those huge front calipers.

Funny thing... I took my R to a local car show. The tuner crowd came over and wowed over the car and then I heard one say, "Look man, someone did a shitty paint job on his front wheels." I just let them talk...

About 5 minutes later, on of the guys curious about the front wheels came over and asked, "Hey man... Did you know your front wheels weren't painted right? You may wanna take them back." I then explained the purpose of the white coating.
