I rarely say "never" but that is something I will never own again.

Admittedly I had forgotten about the practical side...point taken.

Could be done in black or over the polished...
Just a thought as cleaning would be a little easier that way

Could be cool....but those airbrush guys ain't cheap.

With you having more 'virgin eyes' you can probably appreciate some of these more that we can. I do know that I've seen those centerlines on everything from mid '70's Dodge Darts, to early '90's Ford Rangers... those were the greatest wheels to have in high school... until they were replaced with the dead sexy 5 bladed directionals!

If you like them, then run them... No one in the UK will even notice

You're right Shawn nobody would notice....but now you've told me that, how could I show my face on here?

Good advice from good friends...Thanks guys.
