before i had fitted them to the car i had planned on doing them charcoal but i was too eager to get them on and i love the gold on the red..

so i think i will most likely leave them as they are in good condition and wouldnt wanna sand away that perfect shine on the lip

I really like the gold and the polished lip. Maybe just get the rims polished but leave the centres as-is :D

Just noticed...different offset front and rear...nice touch :)

Spray the wheels the watanabe charcoal satin, and do the car while you're at it! :mrgreen:
