You're spending that much money... get 'em shiny.

satin and flat are different.

flat = matte
satin = semi-gloss
gloss = bald (shiny)

It's possible to be too matchy-matchy.

We're not talking about an Escalade with chromed 24" Giovannis

I would get shiny wheels simply because I don't want to look like every other trend-following boy racer out there.
But then again, it's your car and your vision, Tracie. Pick what works for your finished product.

why call the G37C a Q60 while the G37 sedan is going to continue to 2015 unchanged?



i dont get it.
doesn't make much sense. Why would the gtr, with the biggest motor of the bunch and most power, be named q50 the smallest number of the bunch?
