This is Z24Challenge Anyways, after a lot of thought and planning, Nichole and I figured out a way to make my tired, stock OE rims look new, and different. Opinions? ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/montecarlochick/100_0495Medium.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v189/montecarlochick/100_0495Medium.jpg) ---

I don’t like it either, but it reminds me a bit of the “fuchs” rims from the older 911s ![http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/70/93/7b_1_b.JPG](http://i15.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/70/93/7b_1_b.JPG) ---
