they might have been by 2012, I think they were an option on 2011 (they are on mine). D3 wheel options were easy compared with D4, as there seems to have been a fair few changes/selections to choose from.
AlVolvo XC90 B5 Plus Dark
Gone - MY18 D5 HSE - Corris on 22's with Black Pack
Now gone - MY16 D4 SE Tech, Loire Blue, Almond Leather, Privacy, plus some other goodies.
Old - MY12 D4 SDV6 XS Auto - Ipanema Sand with Almond Leather - Plus other niceties, and D4.com sticker
Older - D3 TDV6 XS Auto - Lugano Teal with Almond Leather, 20" Stormers, Shiny Tailpipes, DVD/TV - and obligatory D3 sticker
Ancient - D3 TDV6 S - Tonga with Ebony, 20" Stormers, satnav & DVD

I've got the bottom set on my D4, look very nice but as others have said not the easiest to keep clean. Out of interest what wheels are the bottom ones? I haven't seen many other D4s with those wheels, they were fitted to mine when I bought it, were they an option?

I put my ex FFRR wheels on with the necessary 3mm spacers before committing to a set of Disco 19's that fit without spacers and I am not at all sure I like the ride. I expected it might be a tad firmer which it is, but the steering also seems very different. Could this be the spacers? If not I think I'll have to stay with 18's and have just bought a set of Compomotive PD1880 but was also planning on a set of genuine 19's which I think do look far superior to 18's.

they were looking good for around 3 weeks lol
after that got too many "battle wounds"
need to go for full powder coat next year again but not sure if gloss black would not be the choice next time?

I think black would be an excellent choice and some say (in the motorbike world) that black is the fastest colour
