That looks heaps better than the streeters.
I had those exact same rims on my RS LIberty wagon. I painted the centres the same colour as the body and it looked pretty cool - are you planning on doing that or keeping them as is ?

Yeah 3 piece - I paid a wheel repair place to pull them apart, fix the dents and paint them - cost about $600 I think from memory.

As for your wheels, you can do it yourself, I pulled mine apart and swapped outer hoops.
I just cut out tge olds sillicon and replaced it with a heavy bead of engineering grade stuff.
You shouldnt nees to do that though, just take the valves out, let them go flat, then just unbolt the centres

How did you make the squiggly light thing? It looks mad on that super shiny car.
