It looks vicious on this blue, but I prefer matte silver with this color. But that's more like preference. The car looks off da hook and the wheels are

Nice mod

How refinished? Paint, powder, what color?
Painted, then on the last coat with gloss black the guy mixes it with some chrome flex or summit and it just finishes it off to a T. I looked at two finished wheels, one matt (which was what I was going to go with) and the other high gloss with the chrome in it. As soon as I saw the high gloss that was me sold
I had a few dings/curb rash repaired and the guy did them for £280 including mounting and balancing my new tyres!!!!! Bargain I thought.
Thanks for the thumbs up guys.
