Yeah exactly why I have to paint them, The rims were so curbed they had to be fillered unfortunately I would of loved to be able to get them professionally done but really can't afford it. The inner wheel is good condition now though so im going to get it polished, I just have to decide on what to do with the rim & the inserts on the inner wheel.

Yeah, I could still use that I would just have to sand the filler off. Always wanted to be a wheel whore though so might just do it & see how they look. If they look shite I will roll on the p slots for a bit longer until I can afford to get them professionally done! Will update with more pics when I have my next session (more prep)
