After what seemed to take forever, I finally put back on my newly refinished rims on my project Boxster. As you may know, I originally had the rims done in a matte black but felt that it was too dramatic of a contrast. So I sent the rims back and had them redone in a brushed aluminum with a standard clear coat.
I think the brushed finish color flows better with the car.
Old with Matte Black
New with Brushed Aluminum
