Did you not paint the insides?
Remember the neater you can put filler in/on the easier it is to rub down.

in the middle of doing my cav slabs now costs about £15 a wheel on average to do yourself should be able to do 2 wheels out of one can

THE BUDGET REFURB
you will need:
your wheels off
sand paper p80, p240 and p400
a role or two of making tape
some nail varnish
£4 worth of primer from the pound store
£4 worth of paint from the pound store
and a little bit of skill
(sorry as i didnt take step by step pix)
before/after (the lasses white nail varnish)
p240'd, p400'd, primed, painted then stuck on the badge
the wheels, i p80'd the rough bits/minor chips (deep chips will need filler) then p240'd them well and again with p400 even better
primed them up and gave them plenty time to dry
painted them a dusty coat with black and gave that plenty time to dry
then again with a slightly more thicker coat
yes rattle cans, back garden, pound store
your thinking omg wtf has this idiot done

this idiots done a very clean set of wheels for less than £10 all in
its all about getting it as smooth as a babys b
other painted parts iv done with pound stores finest
boot lock and badge
door handles
perfect finish
and a few other touch ups here and there
