Calyx · 08-03-2010, 19:16

Does anybody have any pics of what they look like? Im torn between a new set of wheels or keeping mine and doing something different

Thanks.

Hi mate

The only problem with diamond cutting is that the wheel is far more likely to corrode if or when it gets chipped / kerbed.

It will look very good but it is something to consider in the real world.

I was torn between getting this done or not, in the end opted for shadow chrome which is a proper paint job keeping the quality of the wheel intact, still with a nice look 9Sorry no pics though)

My mate did his wheels on his Lcr years ago,he painted the backs black and polished the faces of the spokes up mirror finish.He then had them laquered.He sold the car not long after so not sure how they would look now.

,At the time they looked nice it was on a red car.

cupra-rich · 09-03-2010, 19:58

not for me mate, prefer more oem look.

Calyx · 09-03-2010, 20:08

You can get a better set of rims for £350 new wayne? Please point me in the direction Lol.

Normally Rich im more OEM as well. Like i love my Cupra R wheels i just think the look awesome and theres a guy on here with a black LCR and white Rays wheels and it just looks :o:o:o.

If i was to opt for these (which im still unsure on by the way) 17/18" is the next question :/ Not sure.

cupra-rich · 09-03-2010, 21:10
