Cheers guys..... Surprising how much difference wheels make to your car.... So having the compomotives done in black isn't popular? I did wonder about a gold cill stripe? May just tie the wheels in?

I've never liked gold alloys on a car.............until I saw your car at the lakes meet earlier this year.

 

They really seem to suit your car, if it were me I'd keep them.

pmsl I make one comment to you about more electrical goodies for my car and you think its going to be a Knight Industries Two-Thousand VX220 :lol: um..... theres an idea...... Anyways, gold wheels for the win! Didnt you ssy you prefered the 17 all round rather than 16/17? It's whst ever you prefer, you could always paint the turbo ones gold ;) ;)
