in this pic, you might be able to see what is like rust/corrosion in the bottom corner of my spokes. its a yellowish color. i washed my wheels today, but didnt apply any wax or polish to them. not sure if that would take them out. but the whole finish to the wheels seems to be corroding away. i am NOT happy about this. plus side is thse are my winter wheels now, but the point is WTF is up with these POS wheels!?!?

the gauge cluster rings. you can kind of see the two spots from the rubbing alcohol. one spot is to the left of the tach, the other is on the right turn signal. honestly, i couldnt see this after i installed them, only when i looked at the picture, so i dont think its too bad. still disappointed that i did that though.
i couldnt get a good shot of them lit up with the camera, but they do add a little something to the cluster when its on. looks bad *** in person.

today:
silver alcantara with black stitching.

i thought it might not look right with silver shift surround and ****, but i kinda like it.

i'm going to borrow someone's stock shift surround and see how that looks. i might get rid of the landspeed surround. not sure yet.

also put on my new wheels. been waiting so long for it to warm up!!
