I assume it’s a Dynamic Coupe you are going for. The shadows do look good but my preference for the non shadow is that they tie the front and rear kick plates (I'm not sure if that’s what they are called) together with the wheels and make them stand out more. The Shadows make the car look more sporty though. JMO.
Firenze Red Coupe - will look amazing.
Are you going for the Black roof?
Yes mate. Firenze red coupe with black panoramic roof with the plus seats. Can't wait. However I also think a White roof would look good but not ad good as the black!

I saw a car just like yours at the factory (sorry wasn't allowed to take photos) and it blew me away. It really looks like nothing else on the road - stunning. You are right about the white roof .... it looks good but the black roof looks better IMO.

I'm trying to finalise my order - love the shadow chrome wheels and really want Firenze red. I think they look good but it's hard to tell from some of the pics. Would love to see one in the flesh. My other option would be Orkney grey with the shadow wheels which I'm sure will look good and is probably a safer choice but I fancy something more vibrant - I've always had silver / black cars.

Who has changed from the standard wheels on their chosen model and why?

No cost option

Have upgraded from std Pure 18" to 19" Style 3.
Reason - 18" too small, 20" to much of a pavement magnet, 19" just right
I am also thinking of getting them powder coated to Black

Ditto (although getting a 5 door so will be on style 4). Will consider getting some 20" wheels when the tyres need changing...

Me to. Just got back from Evoque live and the 20" wheels look much better than the 19" to me.

I was at Manchester yesterday, good show and the cars looked great. I originally had the style 3 as per the style upgrade on the Pure coupe but have just e-mailed the dealer and changed to the 5. Made a few other changes as well. Must be driving him mad!
