Do you like the wheels like this?

Hi All,

Just done a quick photoshop on my existing wheels to try out what I'm thinking of doing.

My old wheels need a refurb and was thinking of doing something like this - silver or polished inside and outer front facing rim. Satin or gloss black tiger claw faces.

Whaddya think?

Also, can you recommend any good refurb shops in the London/Surrey area?

Not to my liking makes car look like a cheap eBay refugee IMO - just my personal opinion.

Chav chav chav I'm afraid

But like others have said modding is a personal thing and some of my ideas leave a lot to be desired!!

Go for it buddy if that's your style.....

I had to look at an urban dictionary for what you mean by 'bogging' but I still don't know!

It's definitely personal preference. I'm of the NO group for sure. Need to be way bigger rims to pull that look off.
