For any one that knows my car i've added a new touch...

So a few weeks ago i picked up my new wheels. Got the old tyres taken off as there where huge, then took them to this man.. (Craig and Mark at Hi-pol metal polishers 01329289966)

I wanted to do a test rim to see what finish i wanted on them..

Sanded.

polishing starts (this was a quick 10 job to see the finish was like)

Now cause the rims come painted the casing isnt 100% on them getting a good polished finish can be hard and takes time.
There not fully 100% but i think there damn good. they do need a good clean.

Now after leaving the wheel with himand getting craig do his magic, i picked it up.. (again still needing a clean off)

Now to do a trial fit...

Tryed to get it tucked up like it will be when fitted..

But my dad couldnt so....

Will be lower as you can guess.

Now as the tear drop bits on the wheel are so small there a night mare to get in to, as is the lip on the out edge there gonna need to be painted,

I was thinking grey like my bumpers, but the guys at work think blue to match the car.. What do you lot think??[/QUOTE]

Shame they can't stay polished, I'm not normally a fan of shiny wheels, but they look awesome.

Blue will look crap, whoever suggested that needs medication.

I love polishing shops

We use a few people that look like they are black.....but infact under all the muck they are white me. Then you know they're a good polisher

Wheel looking good

Tom: the tear drop shape bits need painting as getting the polishing stuff in there is very hard.

Robin: They're staying polished, just the inserts will be paint as they cant be polished...
