May sound a bit daft but that seems too cheap.

its not as I had a set of BBS rims done there a while ago, and they did a fantastic job

the BBS rims were in a right state, and they came up like new, I would definitely use them again:)
 
oww £39.50 each for a paint and diamond cut :) Yummy

yeah they are a small firm, out in the middle of no where, as these places usually are, but the prices are very reasonable and the finish on my wheels I thought was superb, especially the state they were in...:)
 
The whole will take 5 days sucks.. Ill have to put my LCR on bricks.... Dont think so!!!


There is a few places offering a drive in/out service, some with a courtesy car and some you'll have to leave your car with for a few days.

May sound a bit daft but that seems too cheap.

Damn they are a good price, pitty they are too far :(. I'm looking at about £240 for 4 wheels and tyre/wheel removal and fitting etc...
 
im liking the fact that "lap-tab" is west midlands based, as the only other tuners to my knowledge in the west midlands area is VW performance centre and MIJ (which iv heard aint the best in the world haha)
 
If you have Forza 2 you can easily change wheel colour on a LCR just to give you an idea. You can't do it on the standard rims and no fancy chrome effects but it's quite good to see.

Had mine done here april 06, top job in standard silver see this thread....

They had my car from 6:30 in the morning till about 1 at lunch time (I think they only work early on on, plus they only take 1 car in a day the other work they do is all mail order i believe) - the standard silver is brigher than the default alloy colour but does look awesome :)
 
I need to get mine refurbished again :( They weren't prepped properly before being sprayed, and I've blown a chunck of paint off with the pressure washer :cry:

Been thinking of getting them done in some kind of chrome finish, either black chrome or smoked chrome... kinda like the CTR finish I have at the moment though!

This is how they look at the moment (with a chunk of paint missing around the centre cap :()

Can't remember where I got this photo from - was here somewhere, might have been in one of the ECB brake threads??? This is a black chrome finish.

I can't find anywhere locally who can do the "special" finishes, so looks like it'll have to be a trip up to LapTab.
 
Took the car in today for the wheels to be refurbed and 4 new tyres at lab-tap.
Ended up having the black chrome and they are superb,they realy suit the black LCR,the pictures realy dont do them justice.

No for the bad part of the day,i picked my car up around 4.15 pm and with only a couple of hundred yards covered got to the roundabout under spag junction when bump.
Please see pictures i am realy peed off,only had the car 2 weeks,replaced dv,air filter,stereo,had wheels refurbed along with new tyres got the car the way i wanted it then some twat drives into the back of me.

Sorry to hear that payno, at least it's a non-fault :)

As for the wheels, they must look different in real life as I'm struggling to see that much difference apart from the inner edges.
 
Cheers peeps im gutted as only had it for 2 weeks,oh well with a bit of luck the insurance will do a good job on it and it will be sorted in as couple of weeks.
 
sorry to hear about your car,

I nearly had 3 prangs today on the ring roads in COVENTRY.

i hate driving round COVENTRY, sorry to people who live in COVENTRY.

It must be my age, i keep getting lost.
