Default Magnesium rims
Does anyone have a picture of there pewter vette with Magnesium rims? I really like the look, but i am not sure how it will go with pewter. It is not a weight issue, just looks!
Thanks

A guy at work here has them on his Pewter convertible - looks real good if you like the monochrome look.
