Hi,

Regarding earlier posts on the topic.

Found these in the net on a Jag.

Wonder if something like this would look good on a SSII?

Thank you Harry. I believe it is very difficult to aesthetically improve upon the stock standard Shadow wheel cover, particularly when it is in excellent condition, i.e refurbished/repolished etc. In my opinion, not even so called "factory" issue alloys can compare. Remember also, that apart from "offset" considerations, road wheels are designed to support a calculated weight(with margins etc.)the Shadow being a 2 tonne+ weight vehicle with passenger/s, luggage etc. But as we all know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Ps; Insurance implications in the event of an incident?
