Its not the finish, imo, painted bits look tacky. Alloy looks 100x better if you ask me.
I'll stand my ground, i think painted will look tacky.

Do them all black, with the raised bits on the lexmaul blue.

thanks gaz, looks a bit dull, i think all red would look a bit more interesting as the blue seems to blend in with the rest of the car ?
