Cool update to old wheels
I have wanted to do this for years but was skeptical about it, had my wheel shop machine the face of my wheels. I think it looks great, waiting for the new tires then I will have more pics of them on the car. Let me know what you think. Thanks

Aren't those already machine finished? I had the Bremmas in 18" on my CLK500 and I'm pretty sure they machine finish. However, living right on the beach, the salt air got into the clear coat.

The lip is... But as you can see I had the entire face done as well as the lips.
