Ooo no. Too much bling. Distracts from the Elan's clean sexy lines.

Much prefer the yellow one from earlier.

Referring to the second yellow but the first is good too! :D

Well, the quote has only shown the first of the series of pics, but you should know what I mean now!

Not that i'm biased, but don't the Elan look sexy in black, just like a stylish woman :smt023

I put 17x7 MiM Palermo's on my elan- they had to be custom milled however as the center bore was roughly .5-1mm too small. They look similar to the Mille Miglia Spiders but have a flatter/larger center area around the badge- more reminiscent of the Porsche cup wheels.

The colleagues on the other side of the earth are so helpful... I cannot describe... So I have to thank them for all helpful action, like I have do it for your help so long... I dunno whether it is a award for you... in my eyes its a great family all over the world...

Thanks for all so long Image

Not mine, but they do look way cool. I've heard that aftermarket chrome only lasts about 3-years before it starts flaking off. Has anyone had a different experience?
