(...) Well, yes. And they're a tad bit overdone, in my opinion. The 1998 low profile wheels, as in 8428 and 8462, look pretty good as motorcycle wheels, but for a car, they look quite odd, I think. But as you say, they try to look like alloy wheels, (...) (25 years ago, 7-Oct-99, to lugnet.technic)
