What would a set of fuch alloys look like if you glass bead 100% of them? Pros/Cons?
I know this is an odd question, but I'm looking at 4 fuch alloys and two of them are fully polished and two have the original anodizing on the inserts with polished pedals and lips. The goal to get the four wheels to look a matched set. I may or may not decide to accent the recesses black satin. Looking for options... Thanx |
