    Default Wheel Refurb,Not sure what to do......

    Sharon had a 'moment' in the Siggy yesterday, resulting in one of my wheels being quite badly kerbed, so it's time for a refurb.

    But, Do I go for standard or something a little different?

    Options are standard, standard with a twist (bit of metalflake in the paint or something), Merc Soveriegn Silver, or a darker silver, not quite as dark as titanium, but noticably a little different.

    As most of you already know, Car is a Digital Green Signum, with 19" Snowflakes.

    Oh and if anyone has photoshop......

    I think darker would look stunning with the green Andy. Go for it .
    Hopefully somebody will get a photoshop sorted.

    Depends on your budget.... obviously going standard you would only need to pay for one, but different you would need to get all four done.

    I personally like the look of nice shiny standard silver alloys

    to do a proper job of stripping and repainting the whole wheel ?

    £75 per wheel

    If you want some bloke in a van to botch it with spray paint and hide the scuff mark ? £30-£40 a wheel.
