Hello,

How could we miss them? The issue with this is it doubles the cost of the wheels, because they have to make mirror image version for each side.

I don't know how realistic those tires are -- super low profile tends to be very impractical. And we cannot tell very well how wide/narrow they are. I like the fact they have wheel strakes on the rear anyway, but I think they should be a bit larger.
