yeah, shadow chrome is also a multistage process.. Need a pro to do it.
Unless you want to spend money for someone to do it, you will have to stick to basic colours..

Got some Bridgestone RE001's put on this morning. 195/50/15 for $130 each.. Turns out the reason my Simmons were running funny, wasn't because any were buckled its was because the tyres were stuffed. He balanced the Enkei's with the old tyres, and used heaps of weights. I said stuff it ill get RE001's, with those he used hardly any weights at all to balance. Old tyres were out of round, soo ill just use them for skidpan days..
The wheels look funny on the car, not used to the high offset.. Ill get some pics up soon.

Hey Green Comet,
I just got a set of 2nd hand wheels. So I'll have a read on your previous (Simmons) restoration and hopefully pick up a few things.
Cheers
