Default Mineral Grey 200S 17's and lowered!
So I bought a set of 17" 200S from tcbecker here on LS1tech (THANKS!) but didn't want to stay all polished. SO ......I really like the look of the GMMG cars and decided on 03 Ford Mineral Grey for the centers...



My painter did the centercaps and all base clear but it's growing on me? I may detail out the ARE on the centers or replace them with a new set?









I was going for the GMMG/NHRA Formula look and feel like I got it! Thoughts?

I've always liked the mineral grey color. Kind of wish they had produced camaros and trans ams in that color. I do like the look or your car. As stated earlier, very rare.

Color is rare (not that desirable) and not too many WS6 Formy's were made.

OP, wheels look good.

It was desirable to me I went looking specifically for it
