    I know I know... not the best!! But atleast its better than the chips that was on the alloy, got quoted £110 for each alloy spent £11 at Halfords and I'm pretty much happy with the result [emoji1360][emoji1360]

          the best ones are "alloygators",,or ,I have "rimblades",,,the alloygators fit in between the tyre and the rim.the rimblades are self adhesive,,,dont get good reviews,but they've been stuck to my rims for more than 12 months

          ebay search for either of the above

                  That's a brilliant job mate. I have buggered one of mine and got a few scars on others so might have a go myself.

                      No kit pal just a pack of sand paper I started off starting with the roughest then gradually moving down to then finest. Then finished off with some metal polish [emoji1360][emoji1360]

                          Fair play mate, I thought you'd maybe built it up with some metal filler first. great job for just wet n dry then. guessing you went down to around 3000?

                              Have you relaquered after?... I fitted 255/35 tyres on these wheels rather than the 245/35 it came with. Good protection and wheels looks much better. Not enough rubber on these for my liking
