I really like that wheel on your car, I think it's one of my favorite and if you ever sell them, keep me in mind.

I keep you in mind if I do

Thanks. I like them too. The only downside (and I knew that it was going to be a problem) is that they are a bit heavier than stock, so they actually slow the car down just a little bit.

There are other mods that can be done to fix that though

I like the Rota Subzero's in chrome, I'm not really a fan of chrome otherwise.
