Just an observation. I wonder why the changed them? They still look great.

Funny, I noticed the same thing too. Most are like yours, but I did notice SW (Streetking) centers are like mine. Wierd.

If I understand what you guys are saying there are 2 differenent center finishes the soft/tapered centers are the Classic FM5 and the crisp edge/drop centers are the Profil 5. By the way Ryan your car looks great even with it being "filthy".

Interesting we all just noticed this now

Hey everyone thanks for the props. I spent about 6 hours yesterday detailing the car and I'm still not done. When I said it was filthy I wasn't kidding.

There is a local cruise here next weekend and I'll definately get some good shots of the car that day if the weather holds.

As for the wheels, I really think this is funny that we all never noticed the difference.

I think the Mule is running Profil 5's like your car Jay. Either way both designs look good.
