they dont look as dished as the Longtail wheels, and the tyre profile plays a big part in the look, i think we are all used to looking at the Longtail racecars where they have a very low profile compared to the road going versions, this makes the roadcar wheels look shoite

the racecars sit very low to the ground, and the roadcars sit very high when compared, all this makes a big difference in overall look

anyway, ill shut up now.....

.......but if the wheels on #073 were painted a darker colour (anthracite) theyd look much better
