Wheel colour vote

Post by Drummerman » Mon Oct 07, 2013 8:48 am

Hi Guys, I have searched to try and chose whether to stick to the original bright silver colour for the wheels on my Daytona Avant or go dark like Ant1's. I don't have the black optics so I am leaning towards standard silver, but the Wife likes the darker colour. So with your help I will put it to a vote. Thanks
