Nice find. Speaks loud and clear. Do yourself a favor and do not paint them in flat black (just like the owner of those wheels). Flat black look nice on those cheap Japanese EVOs and similar cheapo Fast & Furious cans but NOT onto a luxury sport car.

Gloss(highly recommended) or semi gloss(minimum)

On a diff note; Get a track bike, a 2.5mm thick kangooroo skin one-piece suit, and go stabilize that extra adrenaline you often have at the circuits. Your wife will enjoy being there with you I'm sure. Great weekend activities, and much safer man
