Got my wheels done today

[Nath.]

Looks like they done a good job Nath, would you mind saying how much it cost?



Any chance of putting a picture up, im considering this combination myself

(You can PM me them to save invading Nath's thread!)

Post any pics here, I'm not worried.

My wheels cost me £280 for sand blast and powder coat inside and out. while I waited.

Are there any OEM black center caps that fit these wheels?

Or any ideas about "S" badges or decals.

Thing is they have left the original "S" and it's proud like brail so Decals will not stick too well.

I think a badge/decal similar to the one on the steering wheel would look ****-on.
The brushed aluminium with red around the outside would really set gloss black off

Very nice Nath, really suit the car, bet your really pleased. I am getting mine done next month, but am going for dark anthracite, need to get round to getting the front bumper wrapped as well

 

[Nath.]

Ok soI checked my wheel studs today to make sure they are tight and obviously I removed the standard spider shaped centre caps. I think it would look really cool with just some round black centre caps popped in there with a chrome "s" on them.

I'm going to look for some, they need to pop into the 60mm hole in the middle of the wheel.

I will post up some pics later if I find anything that looks likeit will work.

Hmmm Must be really grim up here in t'north then... Just contacted their Nottingham branch and they've quoted me £330 for the same job - just curious as already got mine gloss-black, but have a few stone chips already Think I'll just get my Humbrol tinlet of gloss black out and touch them up...

Also got a quote at same time for the missus' Yaris which has 15" alloys on and are bu&&ered: £259 for same level of refurb in stock silver... Sheesh!

Did you get some kind of discount or offer, Nath?

Lower it? It already has sporty suspension due to the fact that it's an FR. I personally think that for a stock car it's quite low.

When I sit in it, it's evel lower but only on the drivers side

Impressive

 

[LEE69]

Loads better.

 

[Leigh15]

Spray the wheel nuts black maybe?

 

[LEE69]

Can you not get the plastic nut covers in black to fit?

Yes you can get them in black

 

[Nath.]

I have some but I prefer the look without, mostly because the locking nuts are a different size and 4 out of 5 nut caps looks odd. I think it breaks up the black a little any way.

They look very good! I have been considering this for a while. . .may need to get saving!
Also well done with the centre caps, finish them off nicely!
