Finally got wheels refurbished
Well a few weeks ago I got a flat tyre and took it to get repaired, turns out my wheels was corroded and letting the air in, rather than a puncture like I 1st thought.. The garage reseated my tyre and it seemed to hold air but he said it was best I get new wheels or refurb mine..
So I 1st purchased some wheels from eBay. (bad mistake) Advertised with 4 matching tyres and a fresh refurb, they arrived with 3 different make tyres and a paint job that only looked good from 10 feet away, so they was sent back the next day... They was also illegal as they poked out passed the wing,
Set of 18's I sent back

The wheels the refurb shop let me borrow while mine was being done

And my newly refurbished wheels,


I didn't get my centre caps done as they are knackered, and I thought it was pointless buying more as they will only go the same way the old ones went, so I will be buying smaller centre caps and spraying them up or carbon wrapped..

Thanks mate, they wasn't intentionally the same colour, the wheels that I see with the colour on originally was only 4 or 5 spokes, and it looked lighter on them, but I'm happy with the look,
I was going to go white. but I had white on my last car and I spent more time washing the wheels than driving.
