I would go with the purple. I agree the chrome will not get that hot. I would imagine that the pattern should match right up with your old wheel, and I am sure that whereever you get your wheel they can answer that. Good Luck.

Thunderdan,

Thanks for the info! Any experience with this? Anyone?

I believe that automotive applications use a hub adapter. Although you already have a bolt on wheel, they proably can answer the question easily enough. If not, try taking a rubbing of your existing bolt pattern for them to compare to. As a final touch, consider getting a horn button to finish it off.

Cord,

Great ideas man!!

Hey, just send me a pic when you've got it done.

Now we need to find somebody to start carving some billet flame engine vents!

Cord,

I definately will!!

Great idea on the vents. If i don't sell my boat i'm going to redo the cockpit and hatches!! Definately adding scoops!!
