Default What to do?

My rims have got a bit of gutter rub on them and don't look the best.

My options are gettin getting them repaired. This will cost me $350 a rim because they are Shadow Chrome.

Getting my current rims repaired and changed in colour to more of a flat chrome which will cost me $700 for the lot.

OR

Buy these for only $950 in 19in. I do like the Cobra wheel but I'm just to worried that in 12 months every bastard will have them.




What do you guys think?

Also if anyone can do a photoshop of those rims onto my car so I can get more of an idea that would be ORSM.

After more decision making I've decided to leave the rims as they are for now.

I don't really have the maney to spend, looking at buying a house.

So I'll hang onto the Vapours and start putting $50 a week away for the rims Fund and see whats happening towards mid year. Might give me a better idea of how many other cars have the cobras on them too.

The Cobra originals have white inside the rim and in the spoke indent, do yours to match the body. Had this thought a few months ago for mine. At least 'till I saw the Velvets... :sm_headba

Looks like I might have to think about it some more.
