"ok baring in mind this is one wheel down and 3 still to do!! but yeh 2 days ago i decided to take my wheels of and sort them out the had really bad laquer peel very bad marks and HUGE curb marks. But like ive said before i got these for 120quid purely so i could use the tyres. Having seeing them finished i will definatly be keeping the wheels and just getting bigger profile tyres to fill the arches. So here goes...... Before And after 2 days sanding and alot of elbow grease with the brasso (needs to be finished with auto sol and just waxed to prevent weathering) Refurbed wheels..... DONE "

Haha that dent you keep going on about reminds me of the dent I had on my rear quarter/frame. Got fed up of it in the end and finally sorted it for just over 600 quid.
