Felix PLS have floss fill in all the recessed lettering on the face of the wheels in Yellow to match your car. Or even do it in Bronze / Gold.

If you do I will give you a chocolate bar.... !

Well done buddy your tastes are impeccable.

not sure if you said it but, what size tires are you planning to run? Surely you'll want a tiny bit of stretch for clearance issues but still enough meat to put power down on the streets

those tires are too small. I am running those in Nitto 555 on a 9.5 and 11" and it looks good just a little stretch, But you're .5" wider all around. You need to raise the car a little and run a 265/295 at least. You should be able to find a 305 that works too. It'll take some playing around w/ it. But raising the car a tad w/ the bigger wheels and tires will fill it out nice.

I suppose it all depends on the tire, I was running 215/40 on a 10 up front and 255/35 on an 11.5 rear on my old set up, then again i was running Hankook V12's and those didnt really allow for much stretch.

I'm sorry but a 215/40 on a 10" wheel is just wrong. Defeats any purpose and looks awful

like I said, depends on the tire, some 215/40s are much softer in the sidewall and stretch way more than other tire brands

How much work was done on your fenders in order to make these fit? I'm imagining not so much up front as the rear
