yeah, when your talking about £65 ($160 AUD) per corner for the refurb and colour, it may be worth my while looking for new rims......Hmmmm Ebay beckons I think ;)

Being me and going by my fanatism with wheels, I'd say add a little more and get new BIGGER rims - but if you must stick to those, you can't go wrong with any shade of silver or hyper silver or shadow chrome finish :)

Shadow chrome will cost a bit more to do though.

If it must be a darker colour, gunmetal grey is as far as I'd go, IMHO the black, even a high gloss finish dosn't suit it, but what you can do, is paint it all gloss black and then polish just the outer rim dish or lip only to a high polish finish and that might look the biss......:rolleyes:

Would look similar to BR's wheels - check out his sig pic :)
