Default My Black Monte Wheels

There was a lot of controversy whether or not they would look good as in powder coat form they was like a satin almost matt finish and that they wouldnt show the actual wheels depth

This is the outcome with the Decals now on and a good few layers of lacquer i think the look excelent and im very happy to be the ONLY owner of a set of Black 18" monte wheels

i know the dirty tyres let tham down a bit and the car needs cleaning other than that what do you think?

Have you not seen the engine... if you have then you would understand more on the lime green theme.
