            It started drizzling when I finished washing the car.. :sad:. Did the weather in Germany today hamper your mission?

                  sexy wheels, but i'm not sure about the black centers. They'd look killer with some bright silver or platinum paint on the centers and polished lips.

                      chrome silver spray would be cool.

                            looks good Yan, but Id go with a dark gunmetal before black on the centers

                              I'm thinking silver/gunmetalish centers would be better than black.
