No. :P

The only thing that puts me off the chrome is all the knock offs have chrome bolts....

i voted chrome,but im not really sure why...

probably cos that's the way they come from the factory?

i think black might look a bit too busy?

They all come with black bolts from the factory. :wink:

Made my mind up. After looking through Ebay, every single LM replica has chrome bolts. Im going black.

I stand corrected. All the early LM's had black bolts.

Interestingly, That site doesnt even list the new LM's as available in 5 x 100.

what are the LM's going on? Also, what's the size and weight of these rims of yours?

They are bloody nice rims - I'm more of a "Linea Corse Lemans" bloke.. $$ :lol:
Initally chrome but the black grows on you - maybe as it breaks the colours up a bit...
