   if you mean will it look "good" by the term "look well" then i assume so yeah isnt the furio kit practically the same as a vt kit? will just look like a black vtr?

   depends on taste mate polised vtr wheels look amazing so will look good on a black car. But you will always get lovers and hater's if you like them then thats all that matters but i say go for it.

   haha, fair play you can always buy filler and just fill it in? then sand down and smooth, re-paint and it will look fine... any pics of how bad the scratch is?

   noooo!!!! Do not blast them. Get them aqua blasted / vapor blasted or chemically dipped if you plan on polishing them. Anything else will cause you more work than needed.

   i just told you how to take them down to bare metal so you can rub them up with a fine paper 1500 wet and dry then 3000 wet and dry without working your way through the papers.

    no mate loads of people vaporblast and aquablast. If your planning on polishing them you will need the tyres removed anyways.
