Nice pics, really does look a clean example. As for the wheels, I think the Ferrice grey works with BS. However if you want to change them to the OEM look I'm sure you would get a few offers of swaps on here.

Agree with you on the wheel colour - I'm not keen on the grey either (or brake dust).

But post up for interest in a swap.

I actually think the wheels look pretty good.

Wonderful thing about modding - your taste and your car.

In this case Rossco0506 doesn't like what's on the car but in the right place to swap em out.

I can read ;)

I was just saying I thought his car looks cool with the wheels as they are. IMO of course. :)

And I'm no stranger to modding myself.

Dont think I would be up for a swap unless someone was offering a nice set of 20" - 22" rims?!?! ;) :))

Im thinking they may grow on me yet but I dunno?! As Sanj has already said, it looks a little like they are caked in brake dust!
