I was wondering if I could do that being that the mesh is chrome itself. I like the wheels, just all chrome

If I could I want to do it gold or bronze mesh with the chrome lip

I would stay away from the Sevas line of wheels.. They have had plenty of wheels snapping on people, shoot even their "3 pc forged" line had quality issues. Just stay away..

SV1's....

You should see how they look on an M5

Too bad every local thats in the wheel business KNOWS about SV1 & Sevas...

I wish them the best but once you eff up your name like 360 & Sevas, its going to be TOUGH to get back up

P.S- Terry, a polished lip is a pain in the *** to maintain but its worth it
