Just got a set of Vauxhall 'Fanblade' wheels, 2 of them are polished and I was thinking of polishing the others too, what do you think?

Polish them?
Paint them the dull-ish grey they used to be?
Paint them Gunmetal grey?
Paint them black?

Ps. She's a bit dirty, her original colour is infact green, not brown

How about white?

Hard to really see what car you have from this picture.... what is it?

Was thinking white for a while but I'm not sure anymore, I had white wheels on the car and I only liked them once they were gone lol.

It's a Daewoo Nexia btw

I like the idea of gunmetal rims on a green car...I think it would be a nice compliment to the green.

true. one of my friends has a dark green Renault clio with gunmetal gray rims and they are very well suited.
but then again, white rims also look good if you're after a rally style.

Picked up some gunmetal grey paint today, well it's a tad darker than gunmetal. I'll post some pics of one of the wheels when i get it sprayed, won't be for a while... Probably after Christmas

Done a quick PS manipulation of the wheels to get an idea of the colour I plan on spraying them

Any feedback welcome

Also, think I've just got myself another set of 4 that need a bit of tlc for cheap, 50 uk sterling.

Apparently they have good tyres aswell, so

2 Of the wheels i have atm have a bit of bad damage, one has a chunk out of the sidewall, the other's sidewall has been filed down because the car drove with no tyre [not my car, the one they were on before hand] so i'm not too keen on them, they still hold pressure though.

ANYWAY! That should be 9 I have now, which is great cause i'll have 3 cracking spares and 2 others incase i really need them

[EDIT] Got the other set of four

Expect to have them finished by late jan/feb. I've exams coming up in mid jan so from christmas->jan there'll be no lovin' for my car until i get the exams sorted. It'll still be there when i come back like, no rush
