Once I fit them I'll make up my mind if they stay as they are or get painted black

I like them, but the problem with them is that on the left hand side of the car they look like they are going forwards and on the right hand side of the car they look like they are going backwards. Or did you buy 2 LH ones and 2 RH ones?

Sorry Tony, I guess, to you, they'll never look the same again... :lol: :drunks:

dont worry Ron, that has been my only concern about them since I first saw them on the Porsches. Even for them they use the same rim on all 4 corners. Its just something I'll have to live with.
