Black on black?

Looking to get my Wheelmania Vortex Evo's refurbished as the corrosion on the lip really is getting bad now as can be seen in the pics

 

Thinking of going with the black centres with the polished lip...think I will paint the centre cap black also. What's your opinions on this?

 

Anyone know of a reputable wheel refurbishers in Scotland? Have contacted Wicked Wheels and they never got back to me TWICE.

 

Note: 1st pic is from a while ago when I got the wheels...the pics after that are from a couple of months ago and they are even worse now :(

I've got a contact that i met in the pub. He was just starting up a wheel business. I have no idea of his reputation but you could be the guinea pig if you like?

 

You can be asured he will be damn cheap. The quality may be questionable though. I have about 6 spare wheels in my garage if you want to hand him one of those first to see how he does ;)

Oh $hit, I can't believe how bad they have got sorry Sean.

 

If I were you I'd get them completly black including the lip rather then just the

center though. Your choice but maybe get some photoshops done first & see

what you think

 

No worries you weren't to know they'd get this bad

 

How exactly do I get some photoshops done?

Here's some old pics of my wheelmania's in black with chrome lip ! i just like the contrast and just added a TRD half carbon spoiler aswell , just to blend more black in the car .

 

Did you get them refurbished like that or is that the original colour?
