   Currently got Lenso KR5's on my car. But decided today to spray my spare wheel Gunmetal grey. Im not sure if i prefer the steelies over the KR5's?
   
   Opinions people, saves me spraying another 3 wheels.

   If you go the steelies then red rim tape would look sweeeet.
   
   And then you could sell the lenso's... but the lenso's do look nice

    spray the alloys in the same colour, or get wider steelies and do them.

    Alloys are leading the poll by 1 vote... It's too close to call
    
    Seriously don't know what to do, don't think i can decide until i trial fit it on the car.
    
    Fuck spraying the alloys i got, wouldn't have the balls to do them and could cost me a fortune if i mess up.

    That looks quite good 2bh. Do you buy these tyres with the whitewall already on? Or is it just an add on feature?

    exactly!!
    And band them like the v-dub boys do it, make them wider by welding 'banding' another steel plate round the rim, can go to extreme widths..
