Very nice - can't wait to see them on your beetle! or should I say kever?

Just got back from picking up the wheels in Germany, they look super nice and are much lighter then I was expecting

front wheels are 8.5x18 and not 8x18 by the way

Now for the next dilemma. I started polishing the wheels but am not sure as to keep the original screws or to change them to golden ones (have seen golden ones look very good on polished wheels but never on the Le Mans wheels actually)

Keep it silver, its matches and compliment the rim. I understand that 3 piece rims when taken apart and fitted back, the screws must be properly tightened if not there will be leaks, correct me if I'm wrong. Btw very nice rims you've got.

I've heard the bolts are quite expensive too which adds up to a lot with the number of them in split rims!

compared to the price of these rims they're peanuts.
80 screws in total at 1 Euro a piece is 80 Euro +shipping.
the wheels cost over 20 times that amount.
