Today I finished off the alcantara door pockets I had from Steven Garrity. They are alcantara with Bentley speaker grilles. Really like them. Thank you Steve
These are very light and durable compared to the stock 16" rims. I have had these on the beetle for 15years. No complaints. Great wheel. ****** to clean.

I think I might have lost the sale of these, fancy selling yours?
These arrived this week
and they look huge!! 8.5x18
I bought them secondhand and they need a refurb. They are in good condition but the chrome finish has started to peel in places. I'm refurbing them myself and thinking of going for a brushed aluminium finish with silver painted centres matching the body colour of my car, what do you guys think?
.I've toyed with doing the panels in black to go with my black and silver theme but I think it may look tacky.
I started using a wire cleaner head tonight on a drill just to remove the chrome and had intended to flat that back with wet and dry before painting the whole wheel silver. I do however like the finish that the brush is leaving and wonder whether it would look good of i just do the inserts in silver then laquer the whole wheel including the brushed alloy.
I've never laquered clean alloy before, does anyone know if this is possible?
