This pic was taken to show the effects of the spacers which were added - 7mm fronts, 15mm rears:

Those look great! Unfortunately I have no photos and there not mounted. Had Sharkys OEM RS wheels on my car for a bit and they looked great also.

Did you complete the other mods?

Nope, been too sick and busy to worry about them. Have them all sitting in the car though.

Brushed center. High polished lips!

But it looks like you went with all black, which looks just as good! Post new pics!

All black, polished lip black interior lip, all brushed ect. Just not feeling the grey interior lip as you can see from the photos.

Please offer your suggestions and sorry for the crapy photos, TIA

I will be unable to respond for a few hours becouse I am running late and headed for Shark Werks. (Sorry Alex )





I got mine with flat black centers and a glossy black lip.

Lusting over the pinstripe and how perfect those wheels fill the wheel well.

Your car is so freakin clean it's makes me feel like a slob!
