Have you considered, sand blasting, some metal putty to fix up stuff any blemishes, a little sanding and powdercoating? It would give a really hard yet flexible coating, and you could probably still do a gloss layer on top for a nice finish, really depends on the powdercoating place and what they have available. |

the stock colour is the best: you gotta remember when you have them resprayed that only part of the rim is painted. the outer edge on the rim and the edges of the spokes are machined. make sure you retain this machined edge as it sets off the rim and gives it depth and contrast..... if you respary the entire thing, it will look bland IMO. |

I would get them painted black if you want to stand out from other Altezzas, there are plenty of cars on this site with black rims and they look clean and cool

There's this option too, I used to like it but I've kinda gone off the idea now... Or just get them polished? |

I'm leaning towards standard ATM..... that way if I ever find a set of Work VS-ZF's they'll be black...... |
