Looks different, wheels like this with the centre in matt black would be my choice:

In post 18 has someone shot the poor cat that is in the process of keeling over ?

I agree with that.
Seen these wheels on a silver clk and it looked great.

Looks good............but what I would like to know is how they do the more fiddly areas. Like for example around the door recesses and screw heads. For an example of what I mean, see the third photo on post number 18 where you can see the blue paint in the door gap and around the screw head in the trim depression.
Surely these awkward areas must be painted?
And what about the under bonnet and under bootlid areas? Are these left blue, or do they finish them as well.? Of course, I realise that in the engine compartment it must be left as original blue as it would entail far too much work to cover this area.
Genuinely interested in how these things are done.
And lastly, is the work guaranteed?

Hi Mate,

Yeah the tricky places will need to be painted that’s why the bumpers are.
If you look at the car closely and at edges you can tell it’s not paint but only if you are looking for flaws.
Here are some pictures of the bits you cannot see from outside.
I was really just having a punt at this but for a few ££ I could get them painted.
Those AMG wheels look amazing, I really need to save up for them.

Do they do the vinyl in a leopardskin print? - matt or gloss, I'm not fussy.
