Silver and machined lip!
Macau probably looks great (never seen in person), but I think it will give the car a ricey feel rather than the classy look it deserves

Yep, I've pretty much decided on a metallic silver with a machined lip. Thanks for all of the tips guys!

Just a local mob here in Melbourne called Ace Alloy Wheel Repairs. They have a pretty good reputation

Very nice...One recommendation, this comes from experience, don't bother clearcoating the bare metal. In most events it won't hold up, will eventually bubble and shed it's clear.

Hey guys,
I got my wheels back on Friday, and had them fitted to the car. They look fantastic:
Next job is to get the calipers painted!
