Your car is looking very smart Dan. The new wheels give the car an imposing look.

Further idea would be some new centre caps and maybe a set of locking nuts too. Might not be your cup of tea though...

You definitely need a carbon fibre wrap on them though

Looks stunning, one of the best blobeye's out there!!!

Would prefer if XXR did there wheels in gloss black instead of matt black, As I had matt black wheels on a previous car, and after a bit they seem to look faded and dull from the brake dust etc, but I guess nothing a bit of paint or powdercoating could sort out!!

Looks good dude, far better than those carbon dipped things.......To be honest tho, the car looks a little bland and would benefit from a nice set of Cunto stickers....

Does look very nice indeed, but I'm not sold on wheels with a matt finish.

Having had a set of CE28N's in matt bronze they always looked dirty.
