Refreshed set of HRE's & with some Titanium lugs

Just got my HRE's P40's remounted i had some problems with the textured finish on my charcoal P40's the brake dust was sticking to the texture & they always looked black & kinda blotchy & hard to clean.Worked with HRE on the refinish which is now non textured satin charcoal which they did a beautiful job on .Finished them off with a set of titanium lugs from Vivid less than a third of the price of the Poggipolini ones.We weighed a Poggipolini at 59 grms the Vivid at 69 grms & the stock lug at 99 grms each ,so well worth the price imho the stock lugs always get corroded & look like crap after a while ,these will not corrode.Had to put a couple of new PS2's on the back for some reason which will i'l tell you about in my next post,the guys at BBI did all the work as usual a great job thanks guys.

your turbo looks fantastic, i have the brushed P40s, i love them but was also thinking about changing up the color on them...the color you chose looks incredible.

How much does it costs to refinish your wheels?
