Timah89 1 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 spoonman2, shat myself then, thought someone had stolen my car! good choice in colour of car and wheels. where you get the wheels done, look a very similar finish to mine, had mine done in smoked chrome, awesome effect in the right light!

spoonman2 2 Posted August 7, 2009 Report Share Posted August 7, 2009 I got from Ebay matey, had been powder coated dark grey metallic and were almost new The BBS caps were better than the originals too Still have the original wheels in the garage with 4 good tyres on.

Timah89 1 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 how much you pay for them if you dont mind me asking? Link to post Share on other sites
spoonman2 2 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 They were done by spit and polish, paid £132 for them (sniped lol) with two Toyo Proxes on the front (6mm) and Firestones on the back (7mm). I jumped at the chance as I was going to do this to my wheels and it would cost me about £50 a wheel. This way I have a spare set of wheels and anopther 4 tyres as backups I collected them from about 20 miles away from me. Ian Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 what a steal, done well there, luckily my mate runs a wheel refurbing company so mine were done on the super cheap, bet the kid that sold them was well gutted, considering that the standard wheels can sell for more than that!

jimballs 0 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Got some time to clean the VR & get a few pics finally. The dreaded discs lol... they're on finally & all bearings intact for now. Link to post Share on other sites
Timah89 1 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 what condition the wheels and tyres in?? may be interested in sniping them offf. Link to post Share on other sites
jimballs 0 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Mine? Not brilliant mate tbh. I think the tyres are decent all round with a good few mm left in them, although different brands I believe. Alloys up front are alright, but the rears have some quite bad rash across some of the spokes & one of the bubbly old BBS caps went awol recently.I hate cleaning these wheels, so I'm on the lookout for a set of solitudes or something equally easy to clean Link to post Share on other sites
