Default S2 wheels?

I still have the original S2 RS wheels on my TURBS and dont want to change them for any thing else but ive been thinking about having something done with them like maybe changing the colour or somthing else but i cant make my mind up.So can someone recommend what i should and if so how much do you think it will cost and would you have any photos of what it will look like MUCH APPRECIATED CHEERS

Now thats the type of style im after how much did that cost you and where did you get it done? How long does the diamond cut finish last. It must look the bolocks when the sun shines. I see your in Hertfordshire,which area are you from. Im in Welwyn Garden city. Is the silver insert the standard colour or something different CHEERS for showing me the pics

Ive got a grey S2 and ive got the original rs turbo rims that have been diamond cut but still have the standard colour inserts just like the ones mint s2 shows and they look good especially when the sun hits them.

They were £40 each wheel and I can get the details of where they were done if you want? I find they actually look best at night! The inserts are just painted silver I dont know if its the same as the original colour? My S2 is Mercury Grey and they look the bollox on it - I wudnt go for grey inserts as I dont think they look as good!

Cheers

Sounds like a good price but when they diamond cut the wheels and paint the inserts do they spay the wheel with laquer. Mint S2 if it is possible could you find out where your wheels were done and let me know. CHEERS

Finally decided to do something with my wheels. Im having them resprayed and diamond cut like the one above. some ones coming around this thursday to collect the wheels from BJV Engineering and they are based in APSLEY Herts.It will cost 40 pounds for each wheel and that includes removing and refiting the tyres. But im having a new set fitted. I was told it will take about 7 days to do so im sure the wheels will look lush once there done. Looking forward to it The website to this company is www.wheelrefurbishing.com

Found a pic..but on a S1...but you get the idea. Also depends on what colour your brake calipers & rear drums are. Black or white would suit it with white inserts, but not if they were maybe blue for example.
