Has anybody refurbed their ms-01 wheels? I have a set of 17\'s on the car and I don\'t like them so I was thinking maybe a change of colour.
 
Has anybody done theirs different colour?

Mine are champagne pink :D
Might just be the effect of nearly 15 years of sun I guess.

I am in the middle of doing mine. I had the center\'s done in black and the rims done in chrome, they looked great but the black cracked when I tried to put them back together as its a tight fit due to the powder coat being thicker than standard, gutted.
So I have had them blasted again and might just polish the outside of the rim but I hate having to polish the wheels once a week.

I\'m going satin black all over when I can find the dishes to turn the fronts into 9\'s.
Fuell polished looks amazing, but is work.

Yeh, no point in getting upset about it:Giggle. To tell you the truth I wasn\'t to happy with the inside of the rims, a bit lumpy so I was buffing them up today as they are quite badly pitted.
I have one perfect now so it will look great when coated.

I did think about satin black all over as there is an FD close to me with with matt black Desmonds and they do look tidy.
Don\'t suppose any of you have a spare front as one of mine has had a dunt at some point. I have a spare but its the newer style and mine are the older ones
