Looks fine mate, and its your money your choice. what wheels are they by the way?

Any opinions much appreciated folks

They are K2 team dynamics, 18 inch.Gloss Black

Only reason for getting rid of Compo's is they where an 8J and they rubbed the hell out my arches, these are 7.5j and diff offset and dont rub at all!!

Would have kept the Compo's if it wasnt for the rubbing.

I can understand the change then 7.5" on a classic is tight enough

Before for me too

Can't stand those alloys, and black wheels make it look like your hubcaps fell off.

Kind of agree with the hubcaps fell off look, I think black wheels suit white, silver, red cars, I think darker cars like Green, Blue or black look better with anthercite if you want to go dark or silver or gold.

To make the black ones look much better get the lip painted silver or machine cut if you have loads of money.

This make any darker coloured rim look better IMHO
