 My rims were quite bad when i first got my C6 and I was looking for a decend 2nd hand set ever since - unsuccessfully. So decided to go for the refurbishment procedure where they sandblasted, primed, painted and clearcoted them. They also did the middle inserts. Here are the results! I think they came out a little bit lighter than intended, but overall I'm really happy with the results!

P.S.: I also got the air nozzles changed as they had started to corrode. Car is aproaching 10 years, wonder if the TPMSensors batteries are about to die.

 My car came with the TPM sensors removed, so I disabled them in the BSI to get rid of the warning message and as the car had a new set of Michelins fitted not long before I got it, I had the wheels treated with 'Puncture Safe' instead of buying new sensors.

 The wheels look great. You'll be very scared of curbing them now!
