Changed the wheels on the GTD..
« on: February 18, 2016, 08:44:38 pm »
So I tracked down a ridiculously mint set of 18'' Detroit/Huffs.





Actually hard to get in a pic the shine on these wheels. Fitted them for now but may stick the vancouvers back on at some stage



What u guys think?

Are they the diamond cut jobbies (Monzas) or super shiny painted Huffs? Look great btw.

They look like polished Huffs/Monzas II/Detroits. Diamond cut are different:

Thanks guys  :smiley:

Yeah they are polished. I've been told the difference between huffs and detroits are huffs are paints grey on the insides and detroits are black?? If so these are huffs. Genuine wheels made by BBS.

Dunno if I'll keep them or just sell them on.
