....yeah the game is ....... I really like that red on the wheel......it gives separation between the wheel and the tire and I think that helps avoid the black hole look so many with black wheels have......which is fine if they like it. I think its time well spent......nice car!

I hear ya, I think at nite while in bed about what can I do to the Vette (used to be about sex but old age has drawbacks) then try things that seemed like a winner only to be disappointed.
Right now trying to design what would be a matching Hash Stripe to do on the rear fascia, drivers side only ????
Nice shop you got there bud, real nice

The game is getting a little more interesting. 31-21 but only 6 minutes left.

Well, that's true. No, Honda makes a nice car.

I like it as well. It is not too over the top, just a subtle touch.

One of the things I love about comp grey vs. Black wheels is that you get the dark look w/o the (black hole) look.

The few online reviews I was able to find were not good. Apparently from what I discerned they have had them in Europe for a while.

That is a nice PLUS....wheels can be filthy and only look less shiny

well, I see you have the chains on your John Deere so you're all ready to plow / blow snow, so when you get done with that hop on one of these and maybe you'll enjoy winter ……………..
