Also it looked better in white in my opinion than the wrap. Just with the HR lowering of course. And i'd say just stick to all sides the same wheel. But thats just me.

I like the wrap.
I like the wheels, especially the pair on the left side of the vehicle. (I can't believe that I just had to make that distinction.) They remind me of the wheels on the Porsche 928. I'd really like the wheels on 2 different cars. Thanks for sharing!! Cheers-mk |

The left side wheels look like beer can tabs. The right side wheels don't look like anything special (or different -- the beer can tabs do look different; where's the Duff beer?).

The thin blue trim on dark rims is a nice touch. But I don't like the ring design at all. Looks like they were taken from someone else's car. All those circles don't go at all with the edgy design of the car - imho.

I like the alfa-esque wheels, and do like the blue accent
around the outside. Will be doing that myself when my wheels finally arrive. How do you find the ride quality on the HR springs? I'd like to lower the car just a little, but really don't want to lose to much in ride comfort. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers, Scar |

Exactly. Are the left and right wheels even the same weight? If not, you may get some odd driving behavior at higher speeds. For that reason alone, this would be illegal over here. But I travel enough to realize that things get looked at in different ways in different places ...
