looking good! For a second I thought it was my car :lol:

With the side skirts, the wheels look a whole lot better on your car... needs a lip though!

I'd be tempted to leave them that colour - looks good!

I looks good as is, though the gunmetal or bronze would look pretty cool too.

yeah they look ok as-is.
my preference is bronze if you must recolour, but i'm a sucker for bronze rims.

or just get them in whatever colour is closest to brake dust. :lol:

i went and had a look, the motor still had some heat in it, so it mush have happened recently. No one in the car, not much i could do. So continued on my journey south and happened to see some cops down near the Waterfall turnoff...luckily i want speeding, they had the gun out :). Anyways pulled over and told them about it, they wernt really interested...oh well. other than that was a good morning

I'll join the chorus. New lugs with those wheels = I like. Leave as is.

PS. recommend Pilot Sport 3's.
