Which wheels do you like the best

I want to upgrade to some larger wheels on my daily driver.

Which ones do you like best?

Seriously though, car number 3, the white one.

BTW-
How do you like the Acura. I want an AUDI A6 but might look at one of the Acuras. What are the specs on yours? Do think/feel it compares better or worse than an AUDI?
TIA

It is a great daily driver for the money. $32,458 out the door, an A6 with the same options would be well into the 45K range.

I really like the second set, in a 19", they make a 20", but I have a feeling it is going to start looking Ghetto!

These just look to Ghetto to me, but I must be just an old fart.

Al Reed had, yes, had a metallic "smoke" that is awesome. Any dark grey metallic paint (not too dark) would look super in any of the combinations. I's a softer look than black with polish. Very rich looking.

No, I think it was in his office to the right as you entered. They were definately smoke grey in color. Not black at all. I talked to him about using this AND black on the same wheel. That's when I found out he doesn't use this material anymore. Some kind of problems. Really b!tchin looking.

Zeke,

Do you know any Architects that might be able to come over and look at my house and tell me if there is a way to put on a fourth bedroom, and if yes, work up some plans? I am in Huntington Beach.

Michael
