I like the look. They are subtle and not 'out there'.
Do I see weights on the outside? Maybe it is just the angle. By the way, note to photographer, "remove finger from frame"

I know it is difficult to lay out good money for tires but treat yourself and your rims to some quality rubber. I've had nothing but pleasure from my Goodyear GS-D3 tires and I am quite pleased with the BF Goodrich G Force that came with my GT. I know they run hundreds more for a set than the cheap stuff but trust me, "you get what you pay for." No tramlining or abnormal issues when you hit the 50% mark of the tire's life. I also see that the Chinese have infiltrated the US market with cheap rubber. Good Lord I wouldn't trust those brands when I feel like a 'spirited' drive.
Enjoy your ride!
