Anyone had 442M wheels finished differently?

All four of mine are going to need refurbing somepoint soon ish.

I could go for the same look again as this would be the first time they’ve been refurbed (which is what I’m inclined to do).

Just wondered out of curiosity if someone had gone for a different look when having theirs done?

I had 19" orbit grey 442M's.. Scraped 3 of them. Then got used to driving a car with low-profile tyres (coming from a 4x4)
I hated the diamond cut look. Eventually got them powder coated CHARCOAL ANTHRACITE.

I find the look nicer and much easier to clean. So far no damage (4 months in, am being extra extra careful this time). It was approx £100/wheel

They haven’t corroded anywhere have they? I’ve just had all 4 of mine replaced under warranty. I did have to contribute to 1 as it was scuffed all the way around

I'm very tempted to get mine refurbished to be black/diamond cut. I think it's a cool look and my alloys need refurbishing as is.
Would be nice to see if anyone else has had this done. Here are some pics I found online.

I do have some corrosion around the centre cap. It looks like damage from when the tyres were change. No idea how they managed to do it and I didn't notice at the time so too late to do anything about.

Also, the car is no longer in warranty.

I like the look of the ferric grey in the link from Chelsea tractor - looks good!

The diamond cut and black is also pretty cool though....maybe I give diamond cut one more go as this is the first time they're being refinished and then switch to the durable option after that.

Thanks everyone
