sorry Max, got ya text mate but was driving at the time and forgot to reply

Mine aren't chromed mate, they are polished alloy. I prefer polished alloy finish as if they get marked, you can just polish it out but chromed marks with water and it "pits" and cracks if the wheel is tightened up onto them too hard (if the chrome hasnt taken to the metal enough)

No probs Scott, sorted now! Reason being was the fronts had been anodised to match the backs, but the colour was totally wrong! Martin's sorting them for me!

Picked my 380's up of him yesterday! Bells's will be ready on wednesday, can't wait to get it back out!"
