Different look today with the wheels/tires from the 960. Thought initially it would look terrible, but it's kind of growing on me.

Looks pretty cool! Does anyone else think they sorta resemble the "Le Castellet" wheels that were offered on the old B3 VW Passats?

We took off the slash and then painted the entire thing. I left the trim of my grill chrome and I prefer it that way. Lucas discarded that idea almost immediately after I suggested it. I assume it was laziness...

Personally I love these wheels. Totally would have rocked them out on the T5. I just really want a set of steelies on the cheap. Bronze em out, set of snows, good to go.
