diamond cut or painted alloys?
« on: 11 September 2005, 11:28 »
Any thoughts on Diamond cutting your wheels or just get them painted :undecided:? Not sure Diamond cutting them will look odd as they've been compared to the back of a cd with lines running round them,was going to get the centres painted and the rim diamond cut ... - so any ideas or thoughts??
