Default 2wd plus wheels !!! (pics)

Just converted the car to 2wd and bolted on some 19" Avus. Wow!!! what a difference!!!

Actually the wheel combo looks quite good. I've seen soooo many blacked out wheel combo's it's nice to see something tasteful.

As for the 2WD, be brave and don't lift.

Funny...I'm actually thinking about painting the centers black (the lips will remain chrome). I don't like the way the silver centers look with the yellow. They look a lot better in the picture then in person. I thought about color matching them yellow, but think that might be a little much.

+100. That would be too much yellow. Besides, the yellow calipers wouldn't stand out if the wheels were yellow too.

I think it looks great as is, but black centers/chrome lip would be hot too.

Beautiful car!

You should sell me your wheels (at a discount, of course) and just buy a new set in black...

Seriously nice ride... and I really like the gray centers!
