    Hmmm thanks S.F.W. good to know!
    Have a question if anyone knows:
    The black MS3 above and the Silver MS3 above; for some reason the rims on the silver one look like they have a different texture...
    Or maybe just different colour?
    Or am I going blind

    If you compare the rim to the tire on both, the rims on teh silver speed look a little lighter I think? That's the exact colour and texture I'm going for...

    the black one is mine and it is a photochop so just likely not an accurate view of what it would really look like
