I changed over to the MSR’s. I’ve been playing with different sets I have (I koenig and 2 sets of OZ’s) The 17 OZ’s are now becoming my track wheels, the koenig wheels I traded and the 18’s are on the marketplace now.

Gorgeous!
I don't understand the color though. Sometimes it looks ridiculously metallic (like your sig) and sometimes it looks satin or almost matte (like these pics). I always wonder how it looks in person. I love it.

Actually, these pics really show what the color looks like. There’s a lot of flop in this color and sometimes even though it’s not metallic, it flops to a dark orange.

The MSR's are 18's, right? That's the best looking R56 I've seen by far! Great work! You've set the bar!

From wrecked MINI to what his vision looks like once it's completed. You don't see things like this too often. Nicely done.
So...when will the bidding start on ebay?

Looks great! I like that your wing blends in nicely and isn't ricey at all. Very GP-like. Motor on!

Either you have a twin in town, or we crossed paths the other day. You were inbound on E. Indep, I was creeping out of the side parking lot at Village Lake. Thought that was your orange screamer going by.

I don’t remember exactly but they’re in the 17-18lb range I think.
The OZ’s that were on the car (17’s) were much lighter (14.x lbs)

I think I might actually pay to see that. Not too much mind you but definitely US currency!

Actually, all that stuff is coming off this week... I’ll leave the track decals on and that’s it. (and maybe the bend the rules...)
The rest of it is coming off.

The Bend The Rules is too big I think. Also, the font choice, (Comic Sans????)
