Got my Porsche reps back from powder coaters *NOW FITTED* UPDATE

[Deleted member 12147]

Yeah £400 is cheap, adapters alone can cost £200, so £200 for the wheels and tyres is a bargain.

The finish is spot on, gonna get my standard rims done there to, I don't know what colour to go for though. Also gonna get my girlfriends pro races done and calipers.

What colour did you go for?

 

[oldman]

Got my wheels back on Monday but had to drop the one back in as there was a mark on it, well dropped the spare in actually to save some time and hassle - The collar matches the cuffs now

He was happy to keep the wheel and do it went I first collected them but needed them back to get to work.

Cant fault them done a really good job and the bloke is sound.

[ets2k9]

They look really good though well impressed!

Those porsche wheels look mint.Keeping them for summer use is a good idea,i swapped my standard wheels over for my compo cxt`s before x-mas as i could`nt wait,but the size of the bloody pot holes around here now is making me think about putting the standard rims back on!!

 

[Deleted member 12147]

I couldn't wait any longer, having them sitting there doing nothing was killing me so i got some tyres sorted. Gonna give the car a clean tomorrow and try and fit them i'll need to get some spacers first though.

They look spot on mate, where did you get the nut covers from? have you got a link? I just need to source some universal wheel centre caps. Finding the original ones is as hard as finding the wheels.
