Default Better than Christmas!

After owning my car for almost 2 years, I finally have the wheels I originally ordered. The spectra gray wheels were on my order sheet, but when the car came in, it was obvious the order had been changed. I was pretty bummed about it, but I know it was because those wheels were constrained at the time. Ordered and received the spectra gray wheels back in July of last summer and have just been waiting for my old tires to need replacing. So today was the day, and you can imagine I was as excited as a kid on Christmas morning. LOVE the new wheels! Shout out to Jerry's Tire Sales, Edwardsville, Il for their excellent installation!!!

I saw these on a Shark Gray z06, loved the chrome edge so I bought my current wheels, Volk G25.. Closest thing I can get.

Looks damn good.

Yes, it was a little cloudy when these pics were taken. Really think the darker wheel goes well with the dark blue.

Spectra rims have just that look... subtle yet just enough to show themselves off...
