   The mini trend of shinning up your alloys has got me thinking...
   
   What do you lovely people think about a Gold VTR with refurbed shiny VTR alloys?
   I'm thinking it could look awesome in a 'bling' kinda' way. On the other hand it could just look all a bit too much.
   
   Comments welcomed before i try to get a cheap set on ebay...

   Just worried it may look like a pimp-my-ride reject! In my head it looks very nice though.

   Think it might be a bit much on a gold car to be honest.

    I had a set of 16inch OZ hydras on my car when I bought it. Decided to refurb them before I sold them and had them done a deep metallic silver and they looked awesome.
    
    Do it!

    Strangely enough i've always hated black alloys on any colour. I'm trying to avoid them to be honest.
    It's very tempting to go VTS or OZ but i'm trying to think outside the box to have something at least half original.
