Hey Guys and Gals,


Having a hard time deciding whether to buy new wheels or re-plate my OEM wheels.


About $550 cheaper to re-plate but really trying to decide what looks best.


Any opinions?

1AVGUY, I just like the originals, the others are a bit open for me.

I would keep the originals on the car.

Thanks to all for weighing in.


Really a tough decision.


I spent more time away from my business than it would cost to buy the wheels AND re-plate the originals with tires on both.


If the Hornets didn't have the Allen screw heads around the outside, I would be sold. The convex curve really ties in to the cars lines nicely.


Going for re-plate on the originals.


After the re-plate, I will decide whether to have a very cool Coventry Hornet spare or see if others that have Hornets want a deal on a matching spare.


Off to the plating shop!


Cheers!
