Yeah, they do look great, if you are going to have them refurbished, why not have the centres painted in a different colour? Black? (although can be thought of as too common...) or colour code it...

Yeah, definatly keep the rims, but like they said, colour match the centre and leave the outer bit proper shiny! they'll look bad!
