		Okay so tried on my new uber rare borbet 3 spokes, marmite to say the least lol. I love then simply because they are different. 
 Now to choose a colour to paint them and wrap them in 185/35 tyres

		Personally, I prefer the steelies to the 3 spokes. But, the world would be a boring place if we all liked the same things.
