Came across these 17x7.5 & 17x8.5 staggered M-Contours with the 2 front tires like new, Michelin Pilot Sport's 225/45ZR17's, I will have to pick up 2 new rear tires 245/40ZR17's......I paid $500.00 for the set!

So back to my question: Should I polish the lip or not?

p.s. I am keeping the Black Beyern Mesh wheels, they have been growing on me, so time for a little change.....

polish is my vote

 

[denyo77]

't would look teh sexay, so yes!

 

[Torque]

No.

They look minty fresh as is.

armyman says polish

 

[german-speed-demon]

black the spokes, polish the lip

 

[k.sidlosky]

Polish for sure!

 

[BeachBunny]

I see no reason to. I wish mine looked that pretty! Good find!

 

[johnnyBgood]

No.

Minty fresh is good.......

black the spokes, polish the lip

Come on Dave, give me break!.........then I will be looking at Black wheels on my Black car again......

I see no reason to. I wish mine looked that pretty! Good find!

Thanks BB, looks like I will just leave them as is.......

Dilemma time........the wheels are purdy as BB said, but each wheel has very slight curb rash......actually 1 mark on each wheel......so I was thinking about using this wheel repair kit from E-Tech.......which I read is not a perfect fix, so if I polish the lips I won't need the repair kit which cost $60.00 bucks......

anybody here ever use this or one like it, to repair their curb rash?

You all know I had no issue making changes to my ti but as for those classic M wheels I'm a purest...

I rock the alloy/polish. Love the look.

I'll e-slap you if you go black/polish. You don't drive a Honda.

I haven't used the kit, but they lost me at the word "putty". I wouldn't mess with it, I'd be too afraid to screw something up. With all the worrying you're doing, just go ahead and polish them. Shit, come polish mine!!

 

[BeachBunny]

Also, I'd like some close up pictures of that. I can't see anything wrong with them from your first picture. Thanks.

I know what you mean Teg......but like Chelsey said, the word "putty" on a wheel, does not sound like the solution for the Classic M Wheel!

I rock the alloy/polish. Love the look.

I love the look also.......but should I alter the classic M Contour Wheel?

^LoL^ if you weren't 3,000 miles away, I would polish your wheels........

Will do Chelsey....... but still so confused! :conf

How many have you seen on the road with the wheels done this way? I don't know what it would cost to replace these should you hate it, but I assume someone out there would look at your Ebay add an go "Woah, I've never seen a set done like that".

Just my opinion, of course. I love driving a car that you won't see a clone of ANYWHERE.

Not many......LandoAWD,

anyhow update on where I think I am heading with my decision, yesterday I put the wheels on my car, just as they are.......they look great, but then.....

I found a picture of the M Contour with a polished lip & it looks hawt!

What do you think?

 

[BMWBeauty416]

looks pretty good! You'll have to keep them spotless!...

[BeachBunny]

Ehhhh, I don't like that look. It reminds me of someone who would put spinners on their car. But, I'm biased for the stock look.

 

[Torque]

Looks nice, but that's gonna be a bitch to keep clean. I struggle with my plain silver wheels, I can't imagine trying to keep the polish looking nice.
