not a fan. Each to there own though, congrats on the new rims, and I agree about AU offset wheels, it sucks undoing and doing up 120 wheels nuts to change your rims. lol

Mmmmm... Chrome... Aaalgghhhh....

Looks like the only thing you could possibly add now without changing the smooth look is clear repeaters. I got one! They only had 1 and I ran out of cash before I could get the second, and the surrounds which I found out you also need. $170 later...
