i noticed in one of your other threads you have tt comps so i thought ide post up some pics of mine as there in anthracite gray. ( looks lighter in the pic though  for some reason _



mine were refurbed by a proper refub shop though (previous owner got them done) they have a small glittery sparkle in them too which looks the dogs danglies imo


cheep places for paint, halford seems good, know a few people that have got paint from there they used about a can to a can and a half on each wheel.
