   i'd go for something like "ad_182_uk" has above - split rim euro looks best with the centres in a different colour to the edges imo so if you want a similar look thats the way to go i think

    i spray alloys mate and tbh i hate doing the polished lip, its a nightmare. I just got these...
    
    
    
    TBH i am giving them to someone else to do as i cant be arsed with the hassle. Here is a pc of white 205 gti alloys that were on my 106 gti
    
    
    
    
    
    Plus you would need some serious stretch on 205 wheels for euro and its not really possible with 6" wheels. though bridgestone potenzas is your best shot 165/50/15's

    i ticked cream on the poll lol AWW Great minds and all that.....
    
    If i was doin them cream i would just use a clear coat lacquer on them, try get them to turn out like Yorkies Borbet A's

    looks like a decent job done on them... just change the yellow to icelandic and your well on your way to a winner
