Bassett D.O.T approved Nascar wheels.

Will be painted dark blue, as petty had his wheels at one point.

Must admit I do like the black.
But I suppose if your going for the full on Petty look they have to be blue :thumbright:

I prefer the black my self. Breaks the car up a little bit.

Still sexy as hell In blue mind.

Thats why I like the darker blue gives it a bit of contrast, I think the black is a bit too hard on the eye personally for me anyway
