The Sport Designs really look nice with Black Centers and Polished lips IMO.
THAT WING THOWS ME OFF.... I would switch it over to the MKI since it doesn't really match the rest of the car.. again IMO....

I know there's a few guys here that have taken them apart, BruceM being one. Maybe they will chime in for us??!?

sorry, i don't have more pics at the moment. but i can make a few more if you like to.
it was a very hard decision how fat or small the yellow part should be. a made a few versions in photoshop but it was very hard to say with theese pics. then i saw a pic from a yellow GT3 with painted rims. this one here:
so i decided to go for the wider ones. at the moment i'm happy with it. i also thought it would be nice to have yellow painted calipers but mine are standard brakes, no PCCB, so i didn't go for it. in my opinion you only should have yellow calipers if there is the right thing underneath.
