They look polished to me, if that is the case, they are.

GAM3OVR 08-13-2010 11:25 PM

Could it be that they look wierd and out of place due to the tire size used on them? Seems like a very narrow small tire size.

It looks weird because the photos seem photoshopped to enhance the colors. Tobacco doesn't usually look like that with normal photography either. They applied some filter or the HDR method (darks & brights).

Replicas still look like the real thing especially from a distance like that.

What is the recommended tire size for the 21" Wheels?

They definately look like reps. Notice the rear is not staggered, looks like they are 10" wide all the way around.

I noticed in the photo the it doesn't have fender flares, so it didn't come from the factory with 214s. Most likely reproductions.

Fender flares come with Sport Package Correct?

PS'd or screwed with, or diff tire brands front to rear, (Contis front/Kuhmos rear),
or, close in wheel/tire pics are not from the "orginal car" shot.
