    just looks like brake dust build up.

    dont wash your rims and it saves you having to pay for it to be done

    Paint them Black. It will look sinister and make them really easy to keep clean!

    My Altezza was silver (Platinum Ice) with Black Speedline rims and I loved it.

    IMHO John, repair them and leave the finish colour as is ! you'll see the value of that when or if you sell the car...

    Dark grey dosn't suit it, it just makes them look dirty as mentioned by snotty...

    Black looks even worse and too boy racer, it's a current trend going ATM, alot of people putting black rims on everything - not a good look, just like the craze of chrome a few years back and just like chrome, it'll date !!!

    Otherwise just get yourself a neat set of affordable aftermarkets, there are heaps of choices in 17" or 18" in either hyper silver or shadow chrome, which both look fantastic up against a silver coloured car Click here to enlarge
