The Cyclones on our V8S were OK and worked well with the Black Pack, however begin gloss powder coat black, they scratch very easily with the brake dust/dirst.
The Forged Blades on the V8R are a Gun metal colour and a satin finish so don't show up blemishes, and are really easy to clean and get your hand behind the spokes with a sponge.

Smarttop enables you to change the switch programming in the cabin to a 'one touch' up or down, reverse the with direction and enables the remote so that you can roll windows up/dn and the roof up/dn remotely.

I think it's great, but others find it a pain to operate from the remote as you have to press the lock/unlock keys 5 times to get it to go down.
