I think I'm down to gold or the ano blue. Gold will have to be exactly per BBS LMs so need to establish this can be done. Blue ano is per this pic and the photoshop above. I guess if the blue ends up a fail the centres can always be painted later. Yes it's more cost but you don't often get to order a set of wheels exactly how you like, even if they are potentially in poor taste!

If you are anything like me, this decision is keeping you up at night and occupying your mind at any spare moment, yes?

Spare moments are for things not related to picking the colour of the centres!

Prettier car I know, but it suits it well. I wonder how long it takes to get sick of the look.

The blue also reminds me of the 3.9 Sharkwerks car...

^ don't like that look I must say. Wouldn't mind a 3.9 tho. Like the lightness of those rims which is about on par with the Jongbloeds.

Now you're teasing - blue or gold?

Or are you going to hold out until finished, mounted, and photo'd to tell us...?

With a heavy heart I've abandoned blue and gone for gold to be on the safe side. I regret not doing silver too....

Finish will be anodised though, which should be a little different. Aiming for the same sort of look as per this image though the lip may be less highly polished.

I'm sorry you have a heavy heart but I'm soooooo glad you're going with GOLD! Can't wait for the photos. I really want some goldies now too

Thanks. Had a feeling gold might have made more people happy but I thinks deep down it's my pick too. Any ideas on an economical way of freighting them to me from California to Australia? Current quote from Jongbloed is $750 USD! Wow!
