Right guys, need my wheels refurbed as British roads are crap and the road salt is starting to eat away at the chrome
I am going to see a powdercoaters tomorrow but after some ideas before i go.
Idea 1 - polished rim and anthracite every where else
Idea 2 - Silver
Idea 3 - anthracite all over
Idea 4 - Black (got black mesh so might not look too out of place)
Anyone else have any thoughts?
Would really appreciate someone working some photoshop magic.
Theres loads of pics in my garage but think this is one of the better ones to give me an idea
Thanks alot guys
Steve

idea1 also but i think they look good how they are. the chrome works really well with the candy in the paint. dark wheels might not work aswell

right then. i think i am decided.
Polished rim, anthracite spokes, centre cap surround part polished so it breaks the colour up a bit and all the studs at the edge of the spokes polished
