    Default Buncha copy cats!

    There is a thread on the pointy board asking for pics of Miatas and it seems like several folks with black Miatas are going with black rims with a polished lip.

    ...and across the line.

    Yeah, don't you just hate it when you buy some black wheels with a polished lip, and then everyone has to go out and copy you?

    Ive always thought that looked good, I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Although it would be nice to be the only one huh?

    Yep...

    Don't think we'll ever see that. Now Red GT3 rims for track wheels. I could do that.

    Bad news buddy...

    It seems the Dodge crowd likes the look of the black wheel/silver lip as well!

    14" to boot!

    TC     and I saw this one today...

    My girlfriend's brother has a 2000 Mustang Mach 1 with black w/polished lip 18's. They look like the gray and polished wheels off the bullet mustangs. Not much of a mustang fan (too many of them) but his car is sweet. I'm trying to get him to come auto-x, but he is also a news director and can never find the time.
