Hmm, that does actually look pretty cool lol.

Free?!? Lucky for some lol.

Do you know the name of the red paint? Looks amazing. Was looking for a similar colour for wheels :p

lol only the multi coloured hex caps were free, i paid 160 all in for shot blast, refurb, powdercoat in anthracite. other finishes were 30 quid per wheel

i know city powder coaters are cheaper but these guys quality is excellent.

not sure of the name of the red though.. its like a metallic/candy. tempted to get the other 3 done in red but i want the flat caps on too

yeah top notch now.. new guys took over bout 18 months ago, had a good chat with him, said he had some staff that were cutting corners and he got rid of them after he took over-apparently they went to city after!!

160 is a decent price.. quick turnaround too gave them saturday afternoon, they were ready to collect yesterday.

yeah city is **** now dude, stay away

I might have to give bournes a go, never used them due to their bad name they had, but new management sounds good

9's for rear? then 7.5's up front?

TBH, My white ones were done down at City.. and ive never waxed or sealed them.
admittedly running them over winter means they need a little polish on the lips, but they still look good when washed up a bit.

You don't really need a wax, but I would use poorboys wheel sealant
I had some for my RM's, got a tub off my mate, hardly anything left

Ran out, so I used my Autoglym HD Wax, did the track, but not as well as poorboys IMO :)

Always looked at this thread but think its about time I left a comment.

Love the car mate, looks really good :thumbup:.

I really like the colour of the wheels and the I like the multicolour centre caps, something different. The wheel colour would really suit my Oz wheels.

Any more plans?
