        Yes they are.
        I dig white DS.
        Almost makes me want to find some 16" wheels and powdercoat them white.

            The car looks good! I love the Schwarz with the white DS1 wheels!

            My only complaint is how "in your face" the muffler is.

                        Thank you for all the kind words.

                        The car has come a long way. When purchased, it had a stock m20 with an automatic transmission.

                        There is still room for improvement and lots we would like to do.

                        Yes the muffler is not ideal. However it is very quiet (except on full throttle), which is what we were going for. It was actually configured for duals out back (original setup was just that). We may black out the tip to make it "blend in".

                        Car is currently daily driven and does a few track and autocross events. It is a very fun car. Very tail happy but always predictable.

                        Videos of track events can be found on the spec sheet (link below):
