Wheel refurb what finish?

[BIG_G_1979]

So I've booked my E in for a wheel refurb as I been looking too long for aftermarket rims that suit and I like. I have it booked in for monday but not decided on finish yet two options to choose from, painted silver/shadow chrome which is on the car now or get them diamond cut as it left the factory with, what u think? I'm swaying towards diamond cut

For some reason its not letting me upload any pics?

Remember you can only diamond cut so many times, sometimes just the once. you could paint/coat them and diamond cut them a few days before you sell it ,when/if that day arrives.

I went for a gunmetal finish instead of diamond cut again, doesn't show the brake dust as much. Shadow chrome would be a good choice I reckon.

Shadow chrome, sounds a good option

Personally I like diamond cut but they don't last forever. I would diamond cut until they can't be done again, and then move to shadow chrome then.

I went for powdercoat to original colour and the guy only heard the last bit and diamond cut it. It cost a lot more but very nice and shiny. Now I only use water to clean it and don't go to the £3 hand wash place anymore.

Looking very nice, I’m partial to a Diamond Cut myself

 

[Ant-toe-knee]

Anyone recommend any in the south east ?

 

[Raconteur]

They look fantastic ..... And I don't think too expensive either.
With any decent re-furb in paint costing upwards of £60 each.
