I spent two weeks looking for these and another month for them to get baxk into production becaues I wanted the spoked look that this car crys for. BUT I didnt want to pay the $900 a wheel that Dayton wanted for real spokes. The deep blue color with a silver roof will a copy of Wills car in London UK. but with darker blue. Versas offered to do silver spokes for $250 a wheel. I declined because all it would take on their part would to pick them off the line before the paint booth and put them back after the paint booth. $1000 is too much for someone to walk four wheels around the paint booth...LOL....shame on them.

I need to lower the front by a centimeter. That will be the 24th time I've pulled,
adjusted, and put back a wheel trying to get the ride height perfect.

I’m not a fan of large rims nor black rims. Sorry.

I was thinking that, but the cost of a good powder coat job on the wheels would double the cost of the wheels. However I was thinking that since the color is gun metal blue, I hope, (It never looks the same in real life) I could get some matching paint in a rattle can and even if some flaked off itt would be hard to see with the black powder coat underneath.
