Re: New Shoes for the Claret

Damn, that's hot.

I usually don't like gold wheels. They look perfect on that car.

I love 7-spoke wheels, but the Prodrive PFF-7s always kind of irked me, with the near-center crest of the spokes being out past the rim edge. TOO high an offset for the design, essentially... I always liked the 7-spoke wheels that TVR used for a while, and G35 Coupe's OEM 7-spoke wheels that were both less offset.

But the prodrive wheels look good, and intended to be in the SVX's wide fenders.

More pictures please.

I have decided to redo the RX8 wheels in silver for my Ebony.

Don't say no good was because not to upset you
This color looks better
The RX8 wheels in silver is gonna look sexy on your Ebony
