I'm much more of a fan of the two-tone white/black, with those wheels. This car has very pronounced lines which, I think, are very positively accentuated by a two-tone color scheme.

I agree on performance upgrades, especially if there is any way to wring out more performance from the electric motor without replacing major components (which I would think would cost a LOT of money and void your warranty pretty quickly).

On different wheels and wider tires, I'm really on the fence with that. When choosing new wheels, I'd be very conscious about weight. Would it not partly defeat the purpose of this car to throw bigger, heavier wheels on it? Wider tires could help somewhat, but might not be too necessary as the car only weighs ~3300lbs, has great weight distribution and a very low CoG. You don't need much tire for a car like that.

Aesthetically, sure...but this car is all about performance AND efficiency, it's not an M6.
