Re: My baby with new shoes
Not really feeling the anthracite wheels on such a bright colored car. Also, for dubs, those wheels look small. May be due to the anthracite color blending with the shadows. Sweet car, though.

Re: My baby with new shoes
Is it me or do they look smaller than the stock wheels even though they are 1" larger?

Re: My baby with new shoes
I really like the dark color wheels next to the silver. That's probably what is making it look smaller to me. Looks great though.

I think the radial spoke design of the stock wheels make them look larger than the darker recessed design of the BBS.
