thats called turning the brightness and other levels up on photoshop or your camera. the colours are way to bright in the whole pic

car looks nice, white standard gsi wheels would suit it better now on low profile tyres maybe in white

agree with mark though unless they settle alot they are more like 80mm

haha well i can assure you at least 3 hrs of waxing has gone into that pic as i was very determined on that day. dont like GSI wheels, never have and i think Cesaro's suit GSI perfectly. Its on 50 profile tyre which is gona look higher than 45 obviously. haha they're 90mm kid. Unless both myself and Dave A are lying
