mmmmm decisions basically i want a set of 18's but was thinking of painting them black(through a proper refurber etc) but as pointed out to me that could/would affect any warranty with the new wheels for at least a year  :undecided: so im toying with the idea of keeping my montys and getting them refurbed/painted black  :undecided:

Team Dynamics (as used in the BTCC) sell their lines in black (therefore warranty wouldn't be an issue).  I quite like their 'Pro Race 1.2".  Have you seen them?

By the time you've refurbed your current rims you're half wayor most of the way to a set of 18's!
