I always think that with the18in monza II, you need to paint the inserts a different colour, doesn't need to be drastically different, but the shape and design gets lost to my eye if all the same coulour.  :happy2:

....Very very expensive and I've yet to come across any wheel refurber/company that will guarantee a perfect join. I think Nath will confirm the same.

I got seriously fed up with white worm on diamond-cut and will never have diamond-cut alloys again. A1 Wolverhampton did mine Smoked Chrome and hand graded the paint on the inserts as much as they could.
