I would have said those CKs are Chromed, rather than aerocoated.

would love to see the outcome! ;)

The CK's are polished using ball bearings to get that finish, which strengthens them too like shot-peening :happy2:,

If I had a dark coloured car I'd be tempted :laugh:

Thanks for you comments.

I am a little worried I must admit, expensive mistake if it looks wrong but cheaper than a new set of alloys!

Always thought the 25th Anniversary wheels look fine as they were not "the Chrome look" as like some of the pictures posted....joe

The 25th Anni wheels were a nice finish - but like already stated wasnt very robust.
