No worries baz, I have a friend that can get good deals from a mini-wheel specialist cheaper than they advertise, can't remember the company name mind!

I would advise against getting a polished rim though, get a full painted wheel. The laquer always peels without serious care, and really needs storing in a garage, mine again have started to peel (this happened to my last set) and i am now debating painting them a flat colour - or buying something bigger! (13x6 if they fit!)

I don't blame you- they are really nice! Have thought about stripping my wheels and painting them matt black for a while now!

I'd get Carl at Force-Racing to do you some. He can make you whatever you want.

You can get the outer rims anodised polished silver and they won't need a lacquer....and won't peel, even if you scratch them.....just like a yachts mast.

That's pretty cheap, if the work is good I'd be very tempted, guy round this way wanted double that per wheel, I can buy new wheels for £60;each!

I might make a post about simple photoshopping later
