I downgraded wheels (a.k.a winter mode wheels)

What a dramatic diffrence of appearance, I just installed my winter wheels since this is prob the last good weekend us Candians will have. It ain't fun turning a cold wrench on a winter day. I got the wheels free from my girlfreind's old ride a 92 Golf Wolfsburg. They are 14" aluminum oiginally silver, i planned to wetsand and fully polish them but since they are for winter, i decided to try painting them bronze. I'm not very impressed with the looks, but atleast it's only for winter.

I'll miss these sexy babys.
