So i finally got round to getting my alloys refurbished due to the previous owners poor refurb the lacquer was all peeling off etc.

I asked for a light shadow chrome with a fine metallic flake in the silver, they had never added metallic flake to shadow chrome before but they agreed to do it for me. I also painted the callipers and hubs at the same time and here are the results:

Before:









And the Results:








Unfortunately you cant see the callipers and hubs well in the pictures but i painted them just to tidy it up a little!

Views and opinions welcome.

Very nice mate, I like the tone. I am about to do mine as well and was thinking about leaving the deep dish in chrome and the inner spokes in black or graffiti colour, but not sure yet!

got the same wheels and the same as you poor refurbish in the past which needs attention. To be honest I love the color your have done and would want to replicate it lol

Thanks! I was conscious of making it too dark and it looking bad.

Best advice i could give you is speak to a good refurbishment place, i explained what i had in my head and they told me what was possible and would look good etc.

Thanks, by all means ask for the same, the thing with shadow chrome is you can go so many different shades and i had about 6 options in the metallic flake... choose wisely

I like it a lot. I've just had mine redone and had I seen this a few weeks back I would have done the same.

Top Job

They look really good mate

I'm a big old Skool when it comes to this stuff. OEM rims need to be OEM...

But your choice doesn't look bad.

[simmo1985]
