Hahaha, those wheels are certainly too large, and too "much" for a car like yours, maybe black or brushed look would have been a better choice.

Not anodized.

Actually they are Brushed, then apply a tinted red powder coat. You can see it in the picture I posted above. All done in-house at our 60,000 sq ft facility in San Diego.

He did. Alan Peltier our president is responsible for the P40 design launched in 2007.

He was promoted to president several years ago from his lead engineer position His special experience with structural analysis with Northop Grumman helps

The software that you view pics on the mac is called preview. On the "tools" menu within preview app, the third option down is called adjust size. Best save as, rather than lose the size of your original pics.

Love the wheels, although surprisingly the fronts look very large, while the rears seem more analogous to the car, due to their concave design. Balsy move, I think it paid out, the car is certainly unique, I prefer them to the pin stripe you had before. Time for ceramics to make sure no break dust on them! Also time for a new avatar!

Enjoy
