Didn't dig the v4/5 hybrid so I stepped back to v2:



Got an RB5 wing and v2 wheels - also powder coated my old wheels black and tried on a few combos:

Amazing.

The current status looks nice, but for some reason I am strangely attracted to the black wheels you had before the current JDM ones.

You mean the 10 spoke ones? Those are the original Gold 17's I got, but I powder coated them semi gloss black. P1 knock-offs basically.
