I think deep down he probably still thinks his movie flopped cuz it wasnt a 'blue' film.

Those are 5 spoke standard 19 inch alloys, as the car runs on 275/40 R 19 tyres as standard.

I wouldn't call them heinous. My neighbour's got a Conti GT in Emerald Green with 8-spoke 19in rims. They look pretty decent. There's another GT in Black nearby with the 5 spoke design seen on the Flying Spur in Delhi. It looks gorgeous, and I guess it goes to show that colour really does make a difference.

Here's the Bentley alone:

Check this out for 'PART' of his collection:

Seen above are the GT, a CLS55 AMG and a Jaguar S-Type 3.0 V6. Other cars in the kitty include a Mini Cooper in sky blue, an SL500 in silver, and an E55 AMG (estate) in silver. Other cars SEEN at the home are a 996 Cabriolet, a Cayenne S and a 645ci Convertible.

Another picture taken last summer, grabbing a few more cars. A friend's 997 Carrera S in black can be seen to the extreme left:

still different than conti GT wheels which are better and the wheels this gentleman has are hideous..very very bad..he might have opted for a diff std set than the ones on most ad pictures..but those are bad..

The stadard set of wheels I was discussing with the black GT near my house, make the car appear as follows:

The colour really does make quite difference.
