yes, great wheels! Its amazing how different color wheels give the car such distinct characters.

they both look great, but the black ones work better with the paint scheme of the car.

@Ludicrous:
After I sold my cabby (which I had for 2 months) I started looking for an R56 and I found a nice full cooper.

New dark shoes

Got my new wheels and tires on last weekend. Raze R84s in gunmetal - size 17 x 7 with Falken 452 tires in 215 x 45 x 17.

Not sure how I feel about these . . .I'm used to silver, gray or polished wheels. The dark gunmetal is giving my ride too dark a look - not enough contrast.

May consider getting a set of R90s instead since the reason I got these was because I was tired of the R98s.

Tirex, your ride looks stunning!

What offset or spacer width are you using to get that tuck?
