I was thing either group 2 or group 2 extra wide arches, maybe even keeping the arches black (i can always paint them if i don't like it)

- Group 2

- Group 2 Extra Wide

The extra wide ones do look nicer so it might be worth a change in wheels

Ill be contraversal and say keep your original arches;) Everyone and there aunty has fancy arches. I like the standard arches as there now differant from everything else you see lol. I plan on 12inch revolutions with standard arches very shortly.

I wont be keeping these ones on... they are standards painted silver (i think) i could just cover them with the stainless/chrome covers... to many options, my brain hurts!

Sorry i didnt mean keep the ones you have i meant a nice new set of black standard arches. I have a set of the chrome arch covers but the fit was, well they didnt lol they just would not sit properly. Ive seen some that fit a charm though.
