Find what looks good to you, and buy it. Who cares what all of us like? If all of us said "Get the titanium!"---maybe we all have taste for s**t. Or, maybe we want you to look foolish. Buy what gives you joy.

Thanks but what strange stereotype is that coming from? I'm a 45 year old white dude who lives in suburbia...I'm certainly not ghetto...I'm not known to throw gang signs...and I sure the heck am not trying too hard.

BTW, bronze kind of looks like a turd to me. Yeah, maybe some do have a taste for sh**t.

Interesting...lmk how your experience with Raz goes. I'm hoping the outcome will be a good one.

Looks good...but there's no way I'd want to deal with brake dust and dirt on white!
