Default New wheels on the way!!

Needed new tires and have never been happy with my factory wheels, even after having them painted metallic black. Better but too closed in for me.
I looked at tons of wheels and finally chose Savini BM7's in black. I want my new caliper covers to show! Hope they're here by end of next week!!
I was going to order a clean flat five spoke but just didn't want it so tuner looking with all the mods ove done.

I think Savini makes a decent wheel for the money and custom bored to jag spec, correct? My set was.

What do your factory wheels look like? Im thinking about painting mine black and would like to see yours to compare. I have Volans which are a little beat up. Not sure what to do.

I used MGP covers. Sorry I just saw your question!
They're easy to install and you can order any color or image, up charge of course. But worth it.

Does a brake caliper cover do anything? Any reason to use them instead of painting the calipers?
