    Maybe I'm the lone dissenter - but I prefer the original rims. Don't get me wrong, the new ones are nice but the car is just perfect with the original rims..

    I prefer the "before" look also, but love the car too much to complain. I really, really need interior pics!!! :)

    Okay lets put the before and after shots together for fun ;)

    Notice how the original rims being a different colour contrast the body colour and make it sparkle ... infact with the same colour rims you hardly notice the rims at all.

    Looks far better IMHO with the original colour rims :) ... but change is fun, and so is being different/unique.

    Pete
    ps: Anybody that has done any professional design course will confer with my comment regarding painting the rims the same colour as the car is a no no ... but it still looks okay.

    ps2: Also this IS the best colour 360CS I have ever seen ... and why anybody would want a different colour is beyond me ;)

    Possibly a stupid question but does the 360CS have an airbag? ... if it does that is one impressive bit of packaging.

    And yes Slag is right the interior is great.

    Sorry, I like the stock rims. I'm more of a purist that way. To each his own.

    I looks much better with the new rims IMHO. Black with polished lip might have been another option, but it looks SWEET!

    BEAUTIFUL & CONGRATS!!!! Your car is stunning. Personally, I'd prefer the factory wheels, but your new wheels also look very nice.

    Enjoy!!

    Thanks for posting Matt - I cannot get enough of that interior - Outstanding. I spoke to you a bit at FX regarding it - If I remember correctly, you did the work your self - Truly spectacular.

    Thanks!

    Not a bad idea putting everything blue but I must say the 360 CS looked way better with the original wheels.

    Still nice car you've got there Matt!

    Your car looks gorgeous with the HREs. How much weight, if any at all, did you shed by going with the HREs? Congratulations on a beatuiful car.

    Sorry, but I prefer the original rims. Don't like painted or chromed wheels. But hey, it's your sweet car and I would die to have one...
    For sure it's the best colour on a 360! Enjoy it!
