Yeah...I was going for that stone-stock thing. I was referring to that
photo in my previous email (I believe). However, it had wire wheels AND
the white walls, but the car I'm getting had the steel wheels, and it
would make it at least look different in a line of 20 other Bs at a
show...IMHO anyway. :P
However, chrome wires looks great too...especially on a dark car.
