I think the Alulines look cool too tbh, I agree they are classic looking wheels but they still suit it

Now that is a very good question lol...
I'm in process of fitting and machining the centers with my new bolts and once there done then I have one more wheel to get ready and sanded down and blasted, chrome is bloody hard and needs super epoxy primped to eat into it then heat cured onto the metal so a long process but worth it....
Alulines r pretty cool tbh as there well different but I dunno on em being wright...
Guess that's me tho pushing the ideas out there ha...

Be careful with those bolts Craig.
Alot of Anti vandal camera's we fit at work have those and the centre peice tends to snap on them,also they aren't very vandal proof as when we cant get them undone we use a 2.5 or 3mm terminal screwdriver and undo them like a screw.
Looking foward to the wheels sound serious man
