What color is your car? If it's darker i would go for the graphite finish on the RS1.0 |

yeah a graphite finish would be cool on a FM. That or none at all. imo i dont think they would look right in bronze |

I would use a garbage bag and tape around the lip of the wheel with a painters grade masking tape. |
