I'm looking to get mine re-done soon but unsure how - original, black inserts or smoked chrome - the only thing putting me off smoked chrome like RR's is loosing the sharp edge of the inserts - but I plan to ask if this can be kept and just maybe get the faces smoked chrome - the only thing with keeping them diamond cut is there very likely to white worn in the future again.

....If you want two colours with a sharp edge between (to inserts), the ONLY way this can be done is to have the whole wheel painted any colur and to then diamond-cut it back to the alloy and clear lacquer it.....And wait the white worm!
If any wheel refurb company tries to tell you that they can achieve a sharp guaranteed edge between two colours on the Monza's (not by diamond-cutting), stay well clear of them!
HTH - It's all in my thread if you read it thoroughly.

I was mearly putting my view across about re-furbished one's and as you say the problem with Diamond cutting is they wont last that long on the UK roads, it only takes a slight chip - it was the same with the BBS RC's on the 25th Anniversary which also makes you wonder why they do it.

How about powdercoated Smoked Chrome with a delicate dusting of Nurburgring Red DS2500? : -
:evilgrin:
big al:
sorry RR, but looking at those in the picture makes it look like its caked in brake dust.
I like the shadowed inserts as well as the black ones.

Think that's what he meant when he said:

RR's got a thread somewhere about his rims when they were newly powdercoated. They look great in the flesh.
