Default New wheels mounted

Just installed some Rennen m55r wheels in factory sizes. The center caps were a PITA to put on. <br > <br >

I like it. The color combo gives it a distinctive Ferrari style look.

Add Lamborghini. They offered a similar color wheel on the Miura.

I ordered Kalahari with my TR '16. Thinking was iconic Ferrari's in the 50's, 60's and into the 80's were red with a tan interior.

OP, creative mod!

It's a bold statement. I'm fairly sure you won't see many Vettes with that color combo.
