Default Speedlines - Stickered or Not?? Help!!

Hey guys and gals, getting some spanking new ST2s fitted on Saturday and am considering whether to sticker them up before they go on. (similar to Colins Mcrae motor)
With or without the 'speedline / prodrive decals'?? They are not from a dealer and have speedline centre caps, so maybe the prodrive sticker may be a bit wannabe

Your replies would be greatly appreciated!!!

Option1 - NO STICKERS



Option 2 - JUST SPEEDLINE



Option 3 - SPEEDLINE & PRODRIVE



All opinions welcome.
ps. yes there will be tyres on the rims before they are fitted.

Thanks for your replies, KEEP EM COMING!!!

Option 3 is winning so far.

ACID - if you want some making up when I get mine just let me know I'll get some extra ones done. Matey with a few companies that will do them for me.

yeah he would get more.
These wheels were £800 (wheels only) when they first came out they were alot more, bearing in mind its at least 5 years ago when they stopped making em.
Super rare now, depends what condition they are in bent, dints etc.

Ill sort ya some out, I'll be sizing them up myself and then getting a company that I work with to make em up. Probably in Matt black.

Same company that did my rear Subaru caliper decals last week.
Any excuse to show off my refurbish handy work, thanks to a step by step guide from Frayz.
