Looks lovely, Nick.
Looks just like mine did when I first got them done.

You need some tyre gel though....

Looks well like, good choice! How much did they charge if you dont mind me asking? and did they strip the other paint off etc and refurb any kurb marks and all that?

cheers! yeah no worries.. 40pound a wheel and that included everything, dipped in acid to remove old paint, repaired and scuffs or kurbs, and then prepped and powder coated and put in an oven to dry

Tyre gell, as in tyre shine. Makes the tyre sidewalls looks wet/shiney.

[Scott-o]

Thats a right fooking bargain that! Might have to pay them a visit one time. Really want some new wheels but cant afford them atm, shame cos i found some blinders! Might just have to get theses refurbed in a sexy colour

 

[rocky2008]

yeah you should do lol! they did a good job of mine! get yours in gloss black

 

[Scott-o]

Nah, had gloss black on my old car and itl a killer to keep clean, after about a mile they were dull and dusty haha

 

[rocky2008]

well today i sadly broke down when i was at work, i was just sat there with the engine running not long after arriving back from my dinner break, i looked at my clocks to see the airbag light was on, i went to turn the wheel to see if anything else was light up on the dash, as i turned the wheel the powersteering light came on, this was strange i thought, so i killed the engine, and went to restart it, nothing. so i tried again, nothing. i went back into my work and left it for about 2hours, i came back out to and tryed it again, i fired up but the two lights were still there. i got the AA to come out and the bloke told me the problem was that the wires coming from the alternator which charge the battery were broken, he managed to bodge some wiring in to substitute for the broken ones until i get the propper wires and connectors. so thanks to the AA man i manged to get myself home

 

[Damoegan]

Its a common fault, Nick...
