Default 'New' wheels vs old...

Recently changed out my Ruf Speedlines for an original set of Cup 1's that I've had refurbished.

As much as I love the Cups its taking a bit of time to get used to the change, I'm thinking a set of (reasonable) spacers may help the Cups to 'stand out' as much as the Rufs did....any thoughts/recommendations?

PS Rufs currently advertised on fleabay if anyone is interesed...

I prefer the Cups to the Speedlines. Space them out and you'll be good.

I just went from 18 RH AG cups back to the original 17 Cup 1's. Cup 1's for sure.
