it is just an idea at the moment,the reason i asked was that i cant afford vts rims at the moment and i have aready got vtr rims in the shed from when i bought the car.
i found a picture of a 106 with them and that looks ok.

how do you paint them,do you use primer,paint and then laquer? or do not have to use laquer on non metalic paint?
i might give it a go soon.

I hav'nt done it personally but you would have to sand right down, have them shot blasted preferably and then a couple of coats of paint. Then laquer on top of that.
My mates going to do mine because he works a sprayer in a car firm smileys/smiley2.gif

strip existing paint finish with paint stripper and sand paper, clean up with sand paper/wire wool, smooth with wet+dry, coat of primer, wet+dry again, primer, paint, laquer.
