This was my initial thought, which came from seeing Dom's bora sport wheels in a metallic colour. If I were to repaint them they'd definitely be metallic.

Oh right, the polishing thing..

It'll take you a bit.. Like more than one full weekend. And it's not easy.

Amen to that. I spent 1 1/2 days doing mine and got 1 perfect and the other 3 only stripped!

It's a treat seeing them all nice and polished though, it's worth the attention and sore fingers!

x2 on the treatment being black/shadow chrome with the BMW wheel. One of the features in PVW recently had a white Mk3 with black/shadow chrome Schmidt Modernlines. Looked good I thought. Hard to DIY a similar finish.

So nice!

I love that finish too, but how the hell does he drive it that low and not scrape the body seams under the sides? They look perfect!
