what do they look like in daylight?
may change his mind?
also how do you fix kerbing, i wanted to have a go at it, but someone said not to use filler unless the tyres are on already, otherwise the machine pulls it out?
dunno if thats true?

the way i do it is rub down all the flaking paint etc then, a little filler its only a tiny amount then get rid of imperfections with few coats of filler primer!!!
he is warming to the wheels, coming to take a look after work, i said have them back get tires on then in few weeks if he still dont like then will do them white just mask the tires up!!!
think the effect will get the car more attention just not sure he wanted the wheels so ott, ment to be white with little blue pearl i think harly noticalbe

Hobbys are fun, jobs aren't. I wouldn't go serious with it so long as you like it.
What colour is the car that the white wheels are going on?
