New wheels!

Wife surprised me with some new wheels for Pumpkin. Granted, she knew the ones I wanted but it was still a cool gift. No question or anything, just felt like sharing. Facebook gave mixed reviews, some people didn't like the color combo. I think they look good though!

They look great, especially goes well with your car color. Very Portland NW color scheme.

Black mirrors, black roof, black trim and black rims with a touch of tasteful colour. It looks great to me 😎

I love how the gold contrasts the black. It gives it a very understated but aggressive look. Wife definitely knows what shes doing. I hope they rip bud!

If there was any criticism to be had it might only be that they are dual-drilled wheels. Black lugs may help hide that fact somewhat.

Otherwise, I think the color combo looks badass. Well done.

Thanks,
