    Wheel refurbishing

    Want to refurbish my wheels in gun metal. What do you guys think. Personally I think Black cars with darker wheels that are dumped look tough.
    This is how they are now


    This is the colour (not the wheel style) I have in mind...

    Gunmetal would look good - are the lips on your BBS curved outwards, or flat? You could possibly just have the centres painted with the lips polished if they were flat.

    Actually I wouldn't know how that would turn out - but I've seen examples of other wheels with polished lips and colour centres and they come out pretty good in the looks department.

    BTW, having the rims coloured gunmetal would make it less dirty when it is actually dirty aye? If that made any sense
