    I am very surprised I am making a decision lol
    Yours look good 5.0 so do jarrods,

    The ones I am getting are just plain silver though should I spray the centre black

    The very centre or the spokes?
    Also do the silver ones have chrome lips?

    The black ones are chrome in the middle and lip, I think that's the way to go imo

    The chrome in the middle is just the centre caps which are chrome & silver.

    The lip is machined and clear coated rather than polished or chromed.

    Also, make sure you get the hub rings with them (I think that's what they're called) They go on the hub before you put the rim on. Otherwise you will need to pick some up from a tyre shop.

    And yes, black spokes would look better on a white car...but I might be a bit biased. Although, painting them the same coulour as your lower silver/grey might look good as well.

    Hmm that's actually a good idea :) I do need to get one pair of the hub centric rings but they are not to dear.
    Once I get the rims on I will get someone to photoshop them for me

    Go for it, I'm pretty keen to see what wheels would make change of the car look, Yep photoshop would help too.

    Any other plans on it?

    Might go down the path of l67 but I'm not sure yet depends on money, but just clear indicators some chrome nostrils ,

    I am thinking if I do some engine mods ill do things I could transfer to an l67,
    In term of engine wise I'm thinking
    Extractors
    Cai
    Possibly bigger throttle body and maf
    And a memcal

    He is away at the moment ill get a picture when he is home haha
