As i asked earlier... I can't put the pictures in because they are too big. I had to shrink them to this size in order to get TGO to allow me to attach them. Some one help me with this please!!

Looks pretty good i thought about taking my GTAs wheels and having them chromed but i want bigger than 16X8...though you need to get some chrome center caps they sell some pretty sweet looking ones on ebay here
Are these the before, or after pics?
Are the wheels all polished, the webbing too? Or, are they painted silver?
If they are not painted, what color were they?
Hard to tell you which is better.
They look good now, but to tell the choice between the two, I would have to see both.
Not trying to slam, just to help you choose between the two.

They used to be black inlays with gold painted faces (picture below) I repainted them all balck just to get the inlays repainted and then i sanded and polished the faces of the spokes. the spokes don't shine as much as the rim cause it was real hard to use the buffing wheel on the spokes. He is a before picture. I'll try to get a nice close up picture of a single rim on here later. sorry fo the small picture.

Crop the picture next time, probably why it's too big to upload. There's also no need to post a link, you keep messing up and you're posting a link to your computer. Just click on browse and select the picture you want to upload and it'll do it.
