Thanks for the comment...now I am hating myself for not getting my car in white or grey because the matte grey Breytons would have been a killer match to those color cars. For arctic silver, the tone is kind of a mid-grade and matte grey is mid-grade as well...yeah the match will be stealthy but it lacks that head-turning characteristic. I have another day to think it through but in the meantime more comments please??

This is the gunmetal Breyton Race GTS wheels on AW... What I like a lot is how different they look under different lighting conditions...

Sorry no outdoor pictures yet, just drove for a few hours and now I'm

People were looking and pointing at the wheels

Made my day...

frickin awesome

alpini · 03-29-2008, 06:08 PM

must say, the colouring of the gunmetal looks good so far... that's what was worrying me

More pictures

It's surprising how many empty parking lots there are close to where I stay. Also met two ricers and one more looker just now too, but I was driving like a grandma, looking out for potholes

I am running 8.5x19 all round, because
o it's got X-drive, staggering's mostly for looks
o but I suspect most people aren't enthusiasts, so things like staggering and flush-ness will be totally wasted on them

o concavity of 8.5 seems pretty close to 9.5, so I'm happy

o would like to be able to rotate tires

Suspension is stock, it's a lease. Oh, and it's 245/35/19 Generals all round too

That gives pretty good rim protection, and hopefully non-negligible additional traction. Compared to previous 17" Continental RFTs, ride seems quieter. Not sure about harshness of ride, seems to be the same, but then I'm butt-deaf
