Pete, the lexus rims with a lighter colour, I think that they will contrast better with your car colour, dark rims look lost.

Dont think pete has done that colour yet dad, but if you are saying those for his plans then I agree too.

I'd stick with the Lexus rims too, but have you thought about keeping the centres dark and polishing the face? I think that would look good on such a dark car Smile

The reason i have chosen to go with the dark colour is i have a litre of paint sitting in the garage already. As funds are so tight currently ill stick with it for now. If it turns out its too dark then at least it wont be too much work to respray a lighter shade.

Parthiban - i did think about polishing up the wheel face, but a couple of them have bad scrapes that are going to need filling, so polishing is out the question. Although i might nick Rabsters wheels when he gets back from Swiss Alps, theyre in much better condition!

Well the start on the refurb didnt materialise today, as my landrover had a flat battery, so i couldnt get it out of the way. So instead i put my omega on ebay, and built an engine. Hopefully these will release some funds that i can put towards the car.

Wheel refurb now starts sunday
