Leave the chrome lip on the car that way it is.. It's giving it more of contrast... Painting it black would give it a darker look... But it all gets down to your taste, I like the car the way it is..

The Kahn's are a bold move and it's a LOVE OR HATE rims... I actually like them... Regarding the Steering wheel... You can do this like this, contact Fab Design and tell them this that and this and transfer the money and you'll get your steering wheel.. It shouldn't be much of a problem broo!!

I did decide to leave the chrome lip the way it was but guess what happened for the second time? the tires shredded. Apparently the rims where shredding the tires from the inside. First time It happened we thought that it was the quality of the tires I got from Kahn "Falkon's". Literally, the tires looked as if a lion tried eating it! And the rims kept on losing their shape, thought it was the road and all, it wasn't. Fixed the front rim, repainted it and a week later the same rim was losing its shape.

So, really soon, a special something is on the way from Wheels Boutique ( Thanks Jon )
Hopefully before the next coming TS meet.

And regarding the steering wheel, I will contact Fab Design in Qatar and Kuwait and let them know about my situation.

Walla no plans yet, as soon as the HRE's arrive, i'll send the Kahns to get fixed and get one of the rims re-painted.

We both have Kleemannized cars and HRE M40's, mine are brushed and in 19's as well. Mabrook, your going to like them, much lighter than those Kahn's, when are your arriving; mine will be in the next two weeks.
