So basically, since I've already got pot hole damage, despite being super careful with my wheels. I would probably be better off with getting them painted? :facepalm: How long does that process take? Can I go to my normal anal retentive panel beater for it?

Well........... my preference would be to paint them... I am pretty sure it is only a couple of days.,.. as always.. the preparation is the key to a top class job.

Your normal Quality Panel shop should be albe to handle them no worries although I believe there are some specialist places around... Possibly Damian at Final Inspection may know where to get it done...

Really? I think it looks a bit too light for the RB. That and I have an aversion to cleaning my wheels every 3 days lol

Must be the brochure pics that make the RB look good in silver. Photoshop to the extreme!

I just think those wheels are a lot of work to keep clean, and I'm lazy when it comes to cleaning them :P

True. I can see that. Will miss the Detroits. Easiest rim to clean!

OK, I have found the colour that I want to have my wheels painted.....
It is Shadow Chrome which is able to be varied in how dark it goes... It is, I believe a more expensive option than just painting as it is a 3 part process so I will see what the pricing is like... that will determine if and when I get it done...:)

The pic below shows the colour really well... it is on a M3 wheel but I think it will suit the Talladega wheels...
