New look, picked up some full polished Fuchs @GAF

Sold my frosted lipped RS style wheels and took off the black powder coated 964 wheels.....

New look with Full Polish on 16x7s and 8s.....I normally don't like bright work....but kinda looks cool, or at least different.

I like it. But I think if you painted the insets black, it would look even better.

Looks great. Of course, I agree with Jack too. Polished lips and petals would look even more 'correct'. Whatever that is...

Mike

Much better than the later model wheels that were on it, much better.

Mike...looks super. But black background would be even better. It would pick up on the side graphics really nice.

IMHO.

I love the full polish, especially on a black or white car.

Not a big fan of the look. A bit too bling bling for me.
