I LOVE the solid wheels vs. the two-tone...

Also, I LOVE the RCF in white. Damn it's provocative.

My point was that the Solid "Premium 2" wheels looks better than the Two Tone "Premium 2" wheel with the partial polished blades..

We'll be releasing our web-article, pictures and videos as soon as the media embargo is over so keep your eyes peeled guys. We're as anxious to get this stuff out as you guys are to see it!
