Do you think they'll look weird with 1.5" spacers and Duratracs? since the wheels are pretty plain/smooth whereas the Duratracs look really aggressive.
Nope, bedline those shiny rims to make them look better, get some spacers and slap some duratracs on there! It'll be the best money you didn't spend!

Default Why buy...
Why buy a special edition and then begin changing wheels or worse painting them etc... ? If you want a tinker toy, save the cash and buy the cheaper version and have fun with it.

X2 on the hideous! Not my cup of tea either. Someone, somewhere would buy them. I would just laugh as they handed over the cash!

This is gonna sound crazy, but I want factory black leather. On the 11's they only offer saddle brown leather and it doesn't really go with a bright silver exterior.

I wouldn't paint them...I would store them away for resale or use them with spacers and new tires.
