Got a black mark 2 flat arch, pic on my profile.

Havn't got the funds for alloys at the moment, car is completely standard so has those shitty plastic wheel trims on

Reckon it will look alright with them off, just on the steels? Or dodgy and worse than the shitty trims

I think if you took the trims off and sprayed the steelies up so they were bright and clean then it would look 10x better than trims.

Seen a few cool cars with tidy steelies on and can look good:y:

I'd use traffic film remover, then hammerite em up black - plenty of tyre shine and it'll look cool!

You could always just use some paint stripper which will take the grease and dirt off it will also take off any manufacturers paint, then some light rubbing with the old sandpaper, then your ready to spray!
