Smile IS 350 on 20" Auto Couture Latives (chop)

After doing TONS of wheel choppin' (since nobody sells nice wheels in El Paso, TX ), I finally decided to go for the Auto Couture Latives in 20". I was undecided between these wheels and the Modulare M3 and M4 styles for a while , but finally decided to go for the Auto Coutures because the design has the sporty, yet refined look I'm aiming for and also feature longer spokes than my 2nd runner up, the Modulare M4s. Auto Coutures are also a bit cheaper than the Modulares and are also TPS compatible Anyways, here's a chop to give you an idea of how they will look.

usually not a fan of chrome but looks nice, not overly flashy, a conservative and tasteful wheel design. Looks M3ish

But its my opinion, dont like the bling bling factor, kinda gives the "steal me please" vibe.

Axxis brake pad will solve the brake dust problem.
