Do it, looks good but throw in some venetians while your at it. We have a bloke that does a set for $70 in Adelaide. You could always get real clever, make up a template, stick it to the tyre/rim, prep the tyre with Prepsol and give it a spray....

Yeah I did think that, but venetians wouldnt fit in with the style of my car.

The whitewalls are too close to the rim imo. And I thought it was a no-no to post pics of those ugly ass rims on here! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Go the whitewalls and white venetions VLHERO. I don't mean to sound rude, but your car needs a little bit of style. 2-tone would spice it up a little. I know your not a 2-tone fan, but it would look a whole lot better... especially with your smoothed bumpers. It would look sex. Your car would look great with these 3 added!

Your car would look great with these 3 added! 2-tone with smoothed bumpers looks sh*t imo, if I had've gone 2-tone I would've kept the bumpers stock. I want my car to look plain, neat and tidy. Hence my smoothed bumpers and my wheel choice.
