Refurbished wheels
Refurbished wheels
Had the wheels on the X5 refurbished today, decided on graphite finish with a slight gold fleck, what do you think?

Re: Refurbished wheels
Probably my age, butim not entirely sure....sorry 
I recently had my 997 wheel refurbed and was going to go for a hint of grey, but just couldn't pull the trigger and went with standard silver (they still look good though
)
I guess at my age I'm on the conservative side of life

Re: Refurbished wheels
Apologies in advance.
Never been a fan of black alloys, weirdly enough unless they have the pinstripe running on the edge of the rim (or something to highlight that edge). We spend a fortune getting bigger alloys but hide that size by painting them black, thus blending in. That's why I like the pinstripe, highlights the separation between alloy and rubber.
But good on you for doing what you want. Rather than play safe!

Re: Refurbished wheels
Thanks chaps, the picture taken does seem to make them look more black and hasn't really shown them up right, they are greyer in the flesh. I kept looking at Shadrack's wheels for sale but couldn't really afford them at this time but need the wheels sorting out and had a chance meet ing with a wheel restorer who did a deal for me. We'll see how it goes...
