How would I manage it? I need tog et a couple of closeups to show the idea I hav but I want to get my ATS' to the same look as the Omega's I ahd which looked IMO perfect on mine running with my black white theme (or contrasting theme at least)

I was tihkning of getting them lightly bead blasted, then mask them up to buggery, and get the spokes black powdercoated.. before finally giving the bare metal a bit of a rub to smooth it off and a bit of a polish.. but there must be another way surely lol

i'd be inclined to do the polishing before the painting less chance of catching lovely new paint with nasty wet n dry

Polish, mask with the blue 3m masking tape. Paint laquer leave the polished bits raw polished, Belgom Alu and then a few coats of Chemical Guys wheel seal and keep up to them because Laquer doesn't stick to polished metal properly :) And a polishing kit makes life a bit easier just buy a cheap drill, argos one was 9.99 I used 2 doing mine! you don't need the abrasives just the brown blue and green bars and mops to match :)
