Strip the chrome, polish.

^was my 1st choice

But: Chrome is easy to strip, but the nickel beneath is pain in the ass. nickel stripping needs some special stuff and that costs alot. Using that damages the aluminium.

Painting is cheap, easy and fast..

Get a picture during the day and of a profile. It can be PSed like this but will look bad and you wont get a good idea

Color match the centers to the silver on your e39, that would look sick. and chrome the lips!!

How exactly are you stripping the chrome off?

The whole wheel.

I left lip & center to chrome stripping company they said that chrome is removed with some chemical and that will not harm the nickel below. but i can paint on nickel without any problems.

Just some ideas. What color did you want?

[Exami]

Some of those seems ok, but those don't get rid of the problem with nickel plating on lips.. heres couple of my ideas tell me what you think?


^i think im going for this(Matte Bronze lip(same color as Work wheels) + Alpinweib center)

lol @ stripping chrome to polish.

polishing will get old and its practically the same finish.
