I really like that look. I toyed with doing on a bronze on my car that is Montery Red and wound up with chrome for now. What color bronze is that and is it from Prismatic Powder?

So why is there a C8 flag pointing at a red lug nut that aligns with a red cap on the tire valve.

It's all good. Some like black wheels some like chrome. It's all your choice. Something different.

The Eagle has landed. The C8 center cap was the only one available in the bronze color. The alignment was something I decided to do for a different look.
