Phil, I still think they look wank. I reckon white old style 6 spoke MOs would look the tits on it.

But, your car. Enjoy it

I have always loved the look of Venoms and still do...

BUT there is NO way any self respecting car person could have them on a car in 2006!

Id rather drive on my brake discs

You, contradicting yourself???
