I'm not a label wHoRE, but I know they look cool

here's what I had in the past.

custom finished with Audi's Dolphin Seal Grey (19x8.5 19x9.5) took 6 yrs to build to my preferences.













then this happened.









then I bought this and transformed it within 6wks (full 5pc Wald Executive Kit with VIP Modular VR02 20x8.5 20x10) of buying it new and 9 months later sold it and I got my BMW

I am usually a fan of HREs, but those P41s do not give me the WOW effect. So I would say stick with what you have.
