Default black DC2 on Ferrari F40 wheels

^ Just kidding.

These are handheld quick snaps, so they are a little blurry or out of focus. Just wanted to use my new Rebel XTi and shoot Art's new wheels.

I'll give a prize to the first person to correctly guess what these wheels are.









H-T haters, get your fingers ready on the keyboard:






The previous setup, last shoot with my old point and shoot:



Thanks for looking

Look like old Azevs or Compomotives? I'm probably wrong but I'm sure one of the many wheels ****** here will nail it. Either way I like em on there

Those do look very similar. Your spokes are thinner though...your car looks great on those wheels btw

Azev A replicas..they are Rotas. They look great. I don't know if you can see it but the spokes flare outwards. It's a neat look, and Art wouldn't stop rambling on about how cool it looks.

Lol. I just got a little artistic that is all. I Made a bunch of imprints with my fingers when the paint was fresh. Then I added gunmetal, white, and pistachio green. I finished it off by dusting it with Granada Black Pearl.

This all sounds very glamorous and all, but my original intention was to paint my trunk after I shaved the emblems off. Somehow I managed to rub up against it with my sweater and I got pissed and it lead to what you see.

I will be changing it up this week. Stay tuned

Look like old Azevs or Compomotives?
Good job man. I didn't even know Azevs existed till a couple days ago when I found these. I fell in love with them and picked them up as soon as I got the chance. I like these so much, that I would be willing to get a set of real ones in the future. The problem is that 15x7 in this offset is super rare this side of the pond. I would probably have to order them from Europe. Rota did a phenomenal job back in the day with this wheel though, so I will be keeping them for a while.

Lol. Good job with the thread title Matt. hah! And thanks for the pics. The composition of the last one with the air compressor came out sick. I love random moments.

Old wheel are a tone better. New ones look like some old Rotas. But what ever floats your boat.
