Jules, you're so hardcore, if you bought a dog, you'd chop its legs off just to match your car...
No matter where you go, there you are.

I think with Daytona you dont want to go any darker than titan IMO.
I'm with Jonsey on that...

Agreed ... any darker any yes ... i think it starts to border on a bit naff looking.

Argh ... i am the worlds worst at making decisions .... think i'll see if i can offer up some sample wheels tomorrow morning and go from there :bash:

The company is called Mint Alloys ... its about 5 miles from Luton in Bedfordshire.

thought they were a bit to 'blingy' at first but now they're really growing on me.

Also ... intitial thoughts on the Goodyear F1 Asy's 2's ... well .... bloody loads more grip than those poxy Uniroyals and I haven't even run 'em in yet the .... they turn in so well I nearly hit a kerb :shock:

I agree on the tyres, they do seem to be very good indeed!

They look mint mate (pardon the pun)

I plan a wheel refurb later this year, i am also going darker too in the hope they will not show the brake dust so quick after washing these damn wheels :lol:

They look good on your car and darker or silver cars for sure but would be pants on mine with Sprint Blue and silver trim. I went the other way with Hi-Power Chrome Silver, similar to BMW M wheels and well chuffed as they just sparkle a little more then OEM paint and match the mirrors and silver trim better.
