Taken a few new pictures of the car after fitting the refurbed alloys.

 


 


 


I was going to colour code it, however i kind of like how it looks with the black rub strips and bumpers. What do you guys think?

It's tyre shine to make the tyre walls shiney black instead of looking dirty Smile

If you cant get the paint off the rubber then what worked for me was, getting thick paint stripper, masking off the rim, and spreading it around the tyre wall, leave for 1 hour, come back and jet wash it off Very Happy

I would be careful doing this type of thing. Some paint strippers will eat away at the rubber and will weaken the tyre wall.
