Thanks matey

Just need to find a place to refurb then now?! The 1 that has been split is the original audi polished wheel where as the other 3 have been painted would like them back to standard audi style! They are all pretty straight though and I no I'll need to spend a bit getting them right

are you going for a polished lip ?, if so think seriously about it, if you dont lacquer it they need constant polishing as they go Dull very quickly, also if you lacquer a polished lip it will most probably lift an peel before too long as water gets into the split part and eats underneath and into the lacquer
