Default Ever see this?

I was at a certain Cobra restoration shop and took a gander at Lewis Hamilton's CSX3282. I think I found my new dream Cobra.

At any rate, the Trigos have polished rims, polished faces on the 'spokes' but the recessed areas are raw. Not as blingy as all polished but definitely brighter than only polishing on the rims. Any of you guys ever see this? I think I heard that Lewis' other Cobra has the same type wheels.

What do you guys think? (No, I'm not thinking about it ).

Those would look good for shows but would be hard to keep that way I believe if you drove it much. Also kind of takes it to the overly restored point in my opinion as I like to see them not so shiny.

Painting 'em beige hides the pad dust better.

Hamilton's wheel preferences aside, his choice of car color is exceptional.

Ron - Unfortunately, very few of those cars get driven enough to get dirty

Patrick - We'll take your word for it

ACademic - But those sloppily painted billboards are killing you, aren't they?
