Morning everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has polished up there factory rims and if so what does it look like is it better as a DYI job or playing someone 110 a rim inc. getting rid of the gutter rash so which way is worth it over all

I did a full refurb on mine. It really depends on which rims you have, how handy you are with paint and sandpaper and how much time you have.

Most go for a full repaint of the set, if the rashes are big, as eg the stock spec b shadow chrome is hard to match.
But the base model silver should be possible done by eg a mobile sevice.
The other approach is to buy partially rashed sets and sell the rashed rims as spares.
Posting a member profile with location model and pics would be a good start.
