Look at the pic that shows the steering wheel. If you stare hard at the background, you should be able to see a large "B" logo on the ashtray cover

Really feeling the car! Love the rims, the dirty look just adds to the total package. Sometimes a dirty car does look better then a clean one.

Looks great...
Can anyone kindly point me to an online site where Kleeman rims are available?
I am interested in them but cannot seem to find them online.
TIA!

Sometimes I just get tired of seeing a washed and waxed R230 whenever I wake up. Seeing it used and dirty is a nice refreshing change.
