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

Subtle colour I recon don't really need to go stand out colour as the wheels stand out enough.. and those tyres will be interesting!

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

All of what I have seen is hurting my mind. 3 spokes, stretched tires, purple, light blue/ turquoise, bronze, or candy red.

There is nothing good about 3 spokes. Definitely marmite but with nobody liking it.
