That's Fresh's new SL. He's rolling HREs. Should be getting them powdercoated black fairly soon.


All chrome is too bling. Polished, gunmetal, or black.

Nothing wrong with rolling HREs. But the the Dymag CF line are better left for supercars.

I think its quite difficult to find chrome rims that are tasteful and not tacky :P

Many ppl here with chromes makes their car to blingy and lame.
