Got hold of a cheap set of ceseros without tyres, poor paint job.
Got a decent quote for sand blasting to a matte finish for priming (£10 a wheel)
Got a call before to say he can get them to a polished finish for £50 a wheel
Need pics to decide if its worth spending £200 . Still need to buy tyres aswell
Cheers

Can't say I've seen any done tbh, can imagine it looking great though
Shop around for a different quote though as that seems a bit steep. I got a quote about 2 months ago to get my wheels sand blasted and polished and it was £160 all in irrc and that was being done by a well known company.

Went round there last night to get an idea of how its going to look. Said he can polish up just the lip & paint the center spokes for the same price. Getting one done this week to see if I like it. Will post a pic

The only part of a wheel that should be polished is the lip.

i think it'll look mint, goes to show it'll be different if nobody can find a pic of it done, be the first
although personally i wouldn't pay that much to get them done, cant be too hard to diy

If I could get them done like that, that is definately how i would do it! After I polished the one in the pic i got lazy and there is nobody local who would do it for me.

I think they will look great when done tbh! As long as you keep the center a sensible colour and not something like yellow
