Well i finally finished the refurb on the Mirage wheels i purchased recently decided i would change the colur to Mercury grey metalic as the title states these will not be staying on my car to long, taking my serpants in to get them done this week once back these will be coming off and only used for winter even then i might not use them i think they look rubbish on a tourer and the colour is just awful dont you think.

I could well be selling these in the near future and looking for some others what a waste of time that was over the weekend sticking to silver from now on.

Not for me i'm afraid !
Then again, i've never been a fan of darker finishes (like Gunmetal) on wheels so i'm biased.
I tend to prefer Silver as a finish.
Got a couple of sets of Serpents myself by the way, great wheels !!

I think they are great wheels,and the refurb job you have done is fantastic but not sure they suit the car. Would look good on a Saloon but not so sure re the tourer.

By the way, a big thank you for all the help you gave me at the Nano meet. It was a massive help.

I agree horrible, cant wait to get my serpants back on again.

Hi Dominic.

Well first day of driving around on the wheels today they seem to be growing on me get a good ride off them, poped over to the wheels place on the bilston rd to see how much it would cost to have the serpants refurbed i was shocked £95 per wheel platimum silver gave me the speel those are the BMW colours very expensive to match, :roll: yer right then showed me some other silver at £65 a pop.
I may well have the tyres took off £20 rub and prepair the wheels and have a go my self undercoat and top coat plus lacque will only cost me £20-25 per wheel have tyre put back on and balanced £30 in total £150 and the satusfaction of knowing i have done them my self. i mean my serpant are not really bad just need a very tiny bit of TLC
Note the little scuffs
