    Nice!

    How did one acquire those? Were they a bespoke job or available generally?

    I found them on ebay mate, the guy got them from Audi as someone who ordered a spyder new had custom wheels put on it right away. He then just sprayed them black. There are a few used sets available on ebay.de for around the £2000 mark

    I really like the look. I'm having a set powder coated in satin black and should have them back by next week.

    I'm surprised yours are just spray painted. Hopefully the previous owner used a paint an process that will hold up.

    Now you can paint your calipers a different colour to really make them pop. Maybe even in the same jet blue as your car.

    Thanks mate, this is how may car looked when I got her:

    I agree about calipers, but im feeling red, as it will standout more? And regarding the lamborghini one day, still young need to make some smart investments before I move into the lambo / ferrari world, maintenance costs scare me too much :P
