Wheels referbs (pics)

Had the wheels referb'd yesterday and ask for help on colour. Went for silver in the end to keep it OEM but looking new and fresh.

Rear quart was also fixed and you'd never know it had been done.

Here's some pictures of her:

Very, very nice, but now you need some chrome caps to hide those rusty wheel nuts!

Is the guy doing the refubs local ??
i ask because i live not far from you and would like to see pictures of the finished wheels from a local firm, as i need a few of my wheels refurbing in the near future when money is available !!

Also i currently have 18" Apex's in "Shadow Chrome"? on mine ,with the colour of mine being a little different,would a change to gloss black or silver look the part ?

Change of colour would look good, but he only does the fronts but can do the backs/inside of rims for extra

Gosh you've got her looking like new, I knew she'd gone to a good owner. I'm actually missing the fuel economy quite a lot

Wouldn't the paint chip off the first time the wheel is changed though?
