Those are well finished then if its a spray can jobby, and I reckon those will look pimp when they are all finished.
I've recently refurbed the back of my steels back to black and they are looking much better for it. Although i'd love to buy a set of cheap ones (similar to yours) for the winter and refurb them myself.

Its a lot of work to strip 'em, however very satisfying! And yes it was out of a can, could be better!
Look around & u'll find some, mine were from someone on the local veedub forum, so didn't have to go far. And included the right tyres with good tread for £100, so hasn't cost a lot. Will keep an eye out for something different next year, as you say, these are winter wheels!

Got one centre cap today, bit random I know. However thought it would fit so went for it. (Off ebay!) Just have 2 change the centre badge. Got 2 more centre caps on the way, which are the correct Ronal ones, I reckon they'll be identical.

Cheers, look good in the photo!
Just got to get the centre badges & one cap & the dub'll be superb!
Want to do all the work in one hit, so will hopefully put alloys on, drop the suspension & put the vr6 spoiler on in a day. The change should look stunning!
