So,
I was an idiot and didn't get my 5s off in time for winter, and now the lips are fucked. Just spend an hour with 1500 grit and some autosol and the pittings bad.
Since I got the wheels, I sent them off for a 'professional' polish, and they came back with sanding marks and loads of pitting still so I have never been happy with the finish of them, but with the amount of metal taken down it is just becoming distorted now and it seems I will never get them mirror finished. I really like the polished look, but its just a total pain, especially over the winter in England, the sanding has chipped away most of the paint on the bolts too so they now need redoing and whilst its 0*C out there its not the most active task to keep you warm.
Before I drive myself insane and get overly stressed with it, I'm just going to put the wheels back on the car and forget about it for now, I've rushed a quick photoshop together to see what it would look like, I think I would do the bolts Yellow, I don't like silver or white, and black blends in too much.
I'm planning on selling these in the next 1-2 months in favor of the wheels in the link below, but thinking if I split these down and powdercoat the entire barrels black (they are fucked inside too) they might be worth a little more. Or shall I just be lame and do them them standard silver? Or try buck the trend and go white?
Really like fully black BBSs with coloured hardware... arghhhhh... wheels piss me off.
