Still working on my turd, thinking of refurbing my wheels as paint is peeling, don't really want to get the dish polished.
Any ideas?

Didn't know if that was too much blue, got blue top and blue interior. What about white?

I have never seen them with painted rims as these wheels are quite rare,if you have the rims polished you have to keep polishing them or have them lacquered.keep it plain and simple road salt kills polished liped rims,

I had some black ones with polished lip fitted to my dolphin grey coupe and (in my opinion) they looked pretty good. Will try and find some pics as dont have the car anymore
