I am a big fan of those wheels, do not darken them, they just look crap.

 

[Aluco]

i like them but ill stick with my 172 15" replica ones =]

 

[B7JLS]

^ i have the same before matery (as you can see) and they make sooo much difference, in handling and apperence!

172blue, i am going to get them refurbed but still to be that silver colour.

 

[RDH]

I'm looking to do the same

 

[ozzy19]

[alex-avfc]

They look top mate...mite get some of these for xmas, they are going for silly low prices on ebay...Did you let the insurance company know about this? If so what did they do?

Cheers
