Re: [HELP!] Coloured Steelies

Last updates: im gonna respect the OEM looking as well so.... the winner is stocked chromed (un)coloured. Cause all black/white/bronze/red combinations look kinda weird. Cannot visualize them with Fresco Green. My measures will be: 205 55 R/16 [7.0" to 8.5" depth] (In this foto you can see...
