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

can't wait to see these on :love:

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?
