[Cupra_Jay]

wheels really look good mate

am definetely going to get those brakes when i can afford to get them!!

 

[keefy]

Yowch! They look great.

What did you have done, just a respray? Or some fixing of kerb damage etc. too??

Can I ask how much that set you back? I ask because I think come the summer I will get my wheels stripped and refurbed as there is some corrosion and kerb damage. Then I want them resprayed as standard, but with body colour spray inserts down the dips in the centre of the spokes. Just wondering whether it's gonna cost an arm and a leg, as I probably won't bother if it is really expensive.

 

[Ad Lav]

The old paint was flaking off as last company 'FORGOT' to rub them down!

£10 per wheels for stripping to bare metal
Paint/primer/laquer/thinner and hardener was 60 odd quid and my mate did them free!

Cost you £40 a wheel to get them done by wheel company, maybe more if you want spokes different colour?

 

[Cupra_Jay]

if you do it yourself, you would only be paying for the spray paint and whatever else you needed

if you sent it off somewhere, i think they would cost about £30/£40 a wheel, depends where you go and what you want/need doing to them

 

[rashcupra]

nice liking the wheels my car dont look as low as yours from the side and im on the bottom of the settings not fair!

 

[Ad Lav]

I have boot build and false floor in back and a heavy diesel engine up front!!

Needs dropping another 5-10mm on front though...

 

[rashcupra]

what spacers you got 10 - 15 - 20mm??

 

[Ad Lav]

20mm on rear, none on the front, can't remember offset of wheels?

 

[rashcupra]

20 mm spacers made such a positive change to my handling and like yours makes it look about 10 times better and lower top job!
