I like the sound of all of these. Decisions, decisions confused

Those shadow chromes look awesome Rob, but might be too bling for my tastes. Do the pictures do them justice, and do they look any 'darker' in the flesh? Absolutely top job, so I'll probably head off to Flaunden (down the road from me) - I'll be sure you get the credit!

Was originally thinking of gloss black, but now I like the sound of black satin.

See, I'm bl**dy useless, just can't make up my mind. Perhaps a different colour on each corner?

Andy, no they don't look bling in the flesh (IMHO):

Good thing: the inners are Black so don't show the brake dust.
Bad thing: both wheels on same side need doing together (bad for dinks!).

I'll gladly show you them at the 2008 opening Goodwood Brekkie Club meet on
on Sunday 2nd March if you like.

I used the refurb chaps at Kerridges.

Have to say though that I can't recommend the polished rim as its a pain to keep shiney! I'd use the guys AMG Merc used as his wheels look superb!

They did the refurb for my BMW 740i - a great job (and I've dinked one already too).
They will be doing my noble ones next week..shadow chrome, it's the only way to be sure.

Rob, I might take you up on that offer. Can I just show up on the day.. or do the Brekkie Club folks need me to register?
