Thanks for all the comments, I'm really happy with the results. I've had anthracite wheels on previous silver cars before and really liked it but I wasn't sure about it with blue until I saw the finished results on the car!
The refurb and respray is around £40 per wheel I think ( I got 'mates rates' as I know the owner of the body shop so paid a lot less!). They weren't in bad condition to start with though, just a few scuffs and a little bubbling on one near the valve.
In answer to dirtydarthdub I had the paint machine buffed and then a couple of coats of carnuba wax applied a few weeks ago and it's just been washed with autoglym shampoo since.
Rich1068 is your E91 montego blue or is just the lighting in the picture as it looks a little darker than the le mans on mine? Either way, it looks great!
