Yesssss. Look into the bronze or matte black. Also, if money is not too much of an obstacle, check out the GN+. Those 5 Zigens are sweet.

I don't like them at all. I think the red kind of kills it for me.

what I dont understand is why the +48 or odd numbers like that... why not just round up to +50 or +45

It's just a generalized term that they use to use back in the day when most RWD were low offsets and FWD were higher offsets. I remember u had a question about this too.
