   klkl yeah get some pics up mate, the only reason i ask if u will be laquering them is i have some polished cam covers on my vts and i have to re buff them every few weeks to keep the shine so i duno what they would be like on wheels that get the full front of the weather. if you laquer them all you should have to do is wash them like i have to do the car and they should stay the same. there is a diamond cutting company near me that do alloys and they laquer them after

   hmmm ill do a test on the inside of the wheel see if it sticks ok as it will be a smooth surface and might not well stick lol
   
   it should like, would make polishing them a lot easier

   yeah i get what u mean coz once there polished there wont be mcuh of a key serface for the paint to stick to, not sure what the company use, could even get a company up ur way to do it wouldnt cost much as u would have done all the hard work so should jsut be the paint costs and a little bit of labour but see how it goes and keep us updated with pics, whens the expected start date?
