	The more i look at them, i think the black could work, but with some sort of colour in the " V's " red perhaps ??

	I would strip them, polish all of them apart from the 'alcoves' in the spokes where I'd colour code them to the car.
	I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.

	thanks for the replies.... polished is a bit " shiny " for my tastes.... HOWEVER, whats the best way to get started ? strip the paint then use a fine compound ? whats the best way to sort out scuffs !?

	Give em a black\polished job, polish only the outward facing part of the spokes, and black the rest
