Thought i'd update this thread since i finally have all four refurbished wheels on the car with a new set of tyres. I also added a nice little "extra touch" to the wheels which i think make them look tons better:

(dammit you can see my shadow, very "unprofessional" lol)

I added the centre caps from some old pepper-pots i had. They are sprayed in the same silver and lacquer as the wheels themselves and to me look miles better than those old, what i have dubbed "flat Mickey Mouse nose" centre caps.
