crb49, just looked up the VIN. It's paint color 441, "Impala Metallic". I find it also goes by the name of "Desert Taupe" on this Color Swatch.

Ya, not completely won over with the Kinesis look above, but that just might be my fotochop of it being imprecise. Plus rear tire in reality would be much wider too, which I dind't add into the fotochop work. Also, the way I'm having the rims refinished, the centers will look much much sharper. In the end, I guess I really -need- to put them on this 'cus I know I'll just bend them to junk -again- if I put them back on my C43.

i think the emil's would look hot on your car... they're like a modern take on an older style...

i like these too, but i think they only come in 19"... (i'm not a fan of the chrome either, but nice styles nonetheless)




don't like the accents around the lug holes, but the style is very similar to your stock wheels...

Thanx for the idea. Ya, the lug holes spoils the 2nd one for me. I like the 1st.

edit: just noticed. 8 lug holes? doesn't look like they're spaced to cover multiple bolt patterns either. [?]
