The one on the right is what the rims used to look like
I wanted the rims painted black but not too sure on what sections to have polished. I don’t want highly polished rims as they would not suit the theme of the car.
What do you think??
Should I just highlight the cross section?
or the cross and other ribs eg the bars between the arms of the cross
Your input is greatly appreciated
Cheers

don't worry it's a VW thing
I think they look awesome as is, but polishing the smaller spokes won't hurt, and if you hate it, it shoudn't be a lot of work to touch up.
A POSSE AD ESSE.

Do these things work OK or are they really just a toy?

plain ronal - sucks 👎 I never liked them 🙅
black with detailed cross - awesome! 👍
go for a thick and thin tyre combi and it will look great.
Yep they work well and are addictive.. polished up the 5 spokes and the 4 lug fuchs, pretty happy with how they turned out. Polishing the ribs with one of these would be easy .

i rekon leave them as is.. they look great after the paint and polish... like a lot of people, i think the plain Rons look eeeech!
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
look cool as is, but i recon polishing the smaller spokes and the high bit on the inside 1/2 of each of the thick spokes could look cool as well, maybe cooler.😏
