Had my racing harts sat in my garage since I went ksport as they wouldn't fit at the time I really want to run these wheels so went about seeing how much of a spacer I'd need in the pics it's up to 30mm it's just touching and I mean just I think 33mm and I'll be able to run them.

Shame about harts..

But id agree a darker colour like a bronze would really set it off

[akyakapotter]

I've made my mind up wheels are going one solid colour getting rid of the polished lip. This is how far I've managed to get get so far.
