Re: Refinishing wheels

They look real nice, Chris.

Conversely, now that I have my silver 16" winter alloys on I like the silver on a black car more than I like my 17" graphite summer alloys. For my taste black over black on black is just too Batmobilesque. And 17" looks so much better on a SVX.

So I was planning on having my 17"ers redone in silver for Spring. (or spring for new silver alloys, essentially the same major cost to have them stripped & powder coated professionally). A shame since they are in flawless condition and came with the car but a cost I'm willing to bear for the right look.
Yours came out so nice I'm gonna do the same DIY thing as a winter basement project.
