The magic of photoshop, This is what i want done to my wheels. It is a case of a simple refurb to the outer rim. I want the face to look brighter ie silver coated or high polished possibly.

Some companys do a whole wheel for £15 + vat each.
I just want the edges done, if anyone can do me a good price or recommend some one good for the job. Im in South London, so not too far from here.
SPOT the difference. :D

To get the wheels worked on - I have heard good things about Lepsons
www.lepsons.com in Gillingham down in Kent

Also there's a firm called - Spit and Polish - but apparently Lepsons are better. Although looking at the mock-up picture the polished rim makes the wheels look smaller and not in such good proportion as in the first unaltered picture. It's only a photo though so perhaps doesn't give a good representation.

Go for it though - nice car MrBMW8

Thanks---Hello mate. the wheels are 17"s they tend to be small for a 5 series. the photoshop render will be an accurate representation of the desired look, all i done on that is simply re-colour the edge of the rim, size etc are all kept the same, so yes i do agree with you it will make them look smaller, but i am not too worried about the size of the rims as i will upgrade the wheels to 19" original BMW rims in the future, i can not find any justifiable reason to part with that amount of £Â£ at this moment in time as i do like the rims on it and have had the car only 4 weeks now :wink: ,
