I've got the standard 5 spoke alloys on my pre cat.( I believe there were two makes but same style???)
Mine are a flat silver in colour(think they've been refurbed/painted before). Wanted to know if some or all of them were polished on the spokes?
I am looking to refurb them again, and want to know if my centres can be polished diamond cut and laquered?
Thanks

Na, you don't want to do that, you want to swap them with someone who has a set of estorils. They is being much nicer biggrin

Ok I have two sets of 5 spoke wheels , both sets are AMIL type made in Belgium, the set on the car I had refurbed about 3 years ago, power coated first then diamond cut and lacquered, easy to keep clean
The other set look like they may have been hand polished in the past.

Just checked the invoice, had them done May 2006, £46.35 each for the front £50.40 each for the rear plus the VAT.
The place was "Fred to Tread" Milton keynes 01908 582398. Wheels not done on site but sent away these people were only agents, got the recommendation of this site.
