What do you think of my 'new' wheels?
I picked the car up today from APS Alloy Wheel Refurbishment in Swansea , after get absolutely cheesed off with cleaning the blinking brake dust off the wheels I decided to get them refurbed and repainted in a dark gunmetal grey with 4 layers of lacquer to add cleaning.
Below are a few pictures I took earlier today on my Iphone, sorry if the quality is not fantastic (pics that is) but I am really pleased with the result and the pictures do not really do them justice.
I am going to take the wheels off at the weekend and treat them with Poorboys wheel sealant.
Also does anyone know where I can get some black wheel nuts from or your suggestions on wheel nut colour would be appreciated.

Awesome job Ty - very "P1"esque, likey very much indeed I had my red nuts from the group buy on here - not sure if it's still ongoing though, but the supplier was great (Hong Kong way I think). I've got some blue nuts you are welcome to fit and see how they look - if you look at "my garage pics" I think both sets of nuts are on there, following a colour change!. They (both) aren't locking nuts though (Blue would look good with the body colour though)
Try these Japshop Home - Ultralite stockists, they do black ones and pretty sure lockable too

Thanks guys, when I get home later I will take some pics of the complete car so you can see how they look on the car.
I am leaning towards getting black wheel nuts and some black wheel caps.
Calvin, is that the same site as suggested by RF555?

I know there are other repairers out there and APS are not the cheapest but they have a good reputation and have done a cracking job.

Thanks I would recommend APS to anybody, plus they also do chroming, polishing and I would think porting as well but I would check on that one.
I like to think so, gives the car a much meaner look.

Thanks Marc, I knew I should have gone for dark wheels to start with.
