Looks nice. I like them much better than the other ones.

Where did you get the black hood badge? I have not been able to locate one of those for mine. TIA.

Thanks. I like the wheels much better too. Much lighter and smoother ride. Regarding the hood badge... I honestly don't know. My buddy bought it for me. I'm 99% sure from eBay... but will check and let you know.
