Just a couple of pics of my soon to be refurbed 15x7 MIM alloys :)
originally looked like this


Primer wheel to see what they really look like.


Photoshop of the type of finish on the car.
Anthracite and silver mmmm.

Nice mate, did you prep them yourself ? I ask because I've got 5 BBS RA's in etch primer and I rubbed then down myself so can appreciate the hard work involved  :grin:

I have had them about 8 months and have only got one done not to a standard I'm happy with. I'm going to use a mates shotblaster soon hopefully, so that will make life a hell of a lot easier

Good idea mate, I reckon I spent about two to two and a half hours per wheel and by the end I no fingerprints and very little sense of humour left. I suppose you forget all about that when there on and looking sweet  :grin:
