just fancied something a bit different, instead of the usual D90's Dials etc so the wider rims are these which i have a couple of ideas for, but the rims will be polished for sure, its pretty much down to what colour on the innards ..

I hope you mean they are in the back garden waiting to go and be polished!!!

I have at least 2 wheels and hopefully a manifold to go down rainbows, maybe I should take your wheels in too and see if we can get a special price ;)

And as for the mk3 rims get them on as dailys and flog the bbs to make some cashola on them! I don't like mk3 rims as a rule (although they do look reasonable in white) but alright for knocking about in Brum with the state of most the bloody road! Will make clearing that massive hump at the end of your road easier too!

I might actually stick on one at some point (minus rubber of course), take a piccy and let the p/shop Guru's have a play with different colours for the centres then go from there
;)

looks like th edges should come up a treat too, just took a before and after type shot of a rub with some dried up 'Brasso' type stuff, 20 seconds or so and you can still see a difference..

been out to get some spuds and veg for tomorrows dinner, and whilst out, got a tube of Autosol.. quick wipe over on the same rim just a different area again, shows me these rims should polish up a treat! :D

AND....well, I couldnt just go put them in the shed and not do a test fit , could I;)

*plus wanted to get a shot for the photoshop boys to be able to play with their crayons on the centres :D

so.. a few piccy's
