I think that looks better than the brushed look.

-Mike-, yes it's my daily driver but I dust the car and wheels everytime I get home from a drive.

Hey Rex, SonicMS did the wheels for me.

Thanks for the info, Tony. I'm contemplating getting the centers re-finished on mine too since I can't justify new wheels ('discretionary spending cutbacks') but I'm not sure what color to do. I was thinking gunmetal, but we'll see. I'll hit up Darwin to about the cost...

Rex, I think gunmetal or a color similar to mine would look probably MUCH better on your silver car. Just like how my old R10s look better on C's Silverstone M5 then it did on my car. Just a great contrast. You should definitely look into it.

Fiel, I was thinking about doing a meet soon, probably on Sat May 9th at Vasona Park per our discussions at the last lunch meet but hey, we could always get together for lunch before then.

John, looking forward to seeing you in Vegas next weekend buddy!
