Thanks, Steve, I think so, too. I'm still toying with the dark centers, for a tad more understatement, but I'm also having some trouble with the way the wheel has that second lip. Kind of makes the rim protector on the tire a moot point. The wheels on my wife's old Acura had centers that stuck out farther than the tires, and you've only got to curb those once to ruin the wheel. Although I'm "pretty sure" I'm more careful behind the wheel than she is some times schtuff happens. In any event, I'd like to end up with a wheel that's a little more open than the Cobras I have now, even if it means exposing my drum brakes out back...
