I'd agree with ya but MAN with the PEARL it looks great. All my other cars are sports cars so i figured i'd go shiny with this one. Ideally Diamond Machine Cut would be the choice but if you only knew the price i got these wheels for on clearance you'd say a ok...

Work VS-KF are pure sex. Looks really good with the white too. The Vertex lip looks good too. What are the specs on the wheels/tires?
