What were they thinking?!?!?!?!

Hey guys,

saw this when having a look at cars on saturday night, and was purely disgusted someone would do something like this...

You be the judge...




why would you colour code rims to cars other then white, black or silver??? looks really weird...

The idea is fine and has been done for years...but the bronze just doesn't work. Needs a black or silver lip to break it up IMO.

Does anyone else remember Critters Astina with those lovely bronzey coloured wheels?
I was always going to steal them from him

His car always looked very classy everytime I saw it I fell in love with it all over again.

Miss ya Critter
