It didn't happen just once either... we threw the old ones on first, but decided the new ones looked better.



I will say though, the finish on the new wheels really needs to be seen in person. It picks up some blueish light reflections from the natural machining, and just has a really brilliant hue when walking around the car.

She looks deceptively.... nice with those wheels on. I'm with the others on the GM centers. I even liked the brushed hoops. What size tires did you end up with?
