My terrible attempt at a comparison-with-old-wheel shot

Up close you can tell how much effort (or lack thereof) I put into it, but from a reasonanble distance I think they look ok.

Great job B perfer the black myself on the sliver :smt083

I got quoted £180 to refurb all my alloys, respray black with a white lip.

Don't think it's worth trying myself when I can get a pro to do it for 180

And now back to the topic

I got my new tyres put on there and the alloys took a bit of a beating so we're missing some paint in a few spots (I need new centre caps too but that's a "for sale" thread)

So I've decided to give them another going over.
I'm looking for suggestions, but I do think the black worked better myself (so much easier to keep them looking tidy too!)

I think colm posted a nice set in some non-alloy related thread. Black with a silver(?) rim and centre cap or something?
