If you had a white car, black wheels then yellow it would be but with silver or silver it's hard to tell. Yellow just I don't know it just doesn't look like it fits. I think maybe black. Maybe it's because I'm not a fan on silver wheels or cars (no offense) so yh......

Off topic....what size socket is needed to crack the lugs loose? I have a torque wrench and cheater bar that I use to knock the nuts loose ready to put into my trunk. Just need to go pick up a socket.

Yellow or black for sure. I think black would lend to the understated style, but yellow would look excellent.

For the record, no pun intended toward the type-r Jags. I was more referring to the Honduh scene. I know those new Jags can do some damage.

My vote is still black.
