yeah they look nice azzrobz, the thing with mine is that they're not bad enough to need doing- its only a bit of laquer peel on the rim (common i know), i've looked at getting them done by a pro but they wanted £30/wheel to do the centres, then £40/dish! it was even more to have them polished. maybe i'll wait till they get so bad i have to do them!

I was sh!tting it when i was taking them apart as i had heard people saying that the bolts can snap. Took my time and they all came away no bother. Can't wait to get them bolted back together and see how they look.
