just get silver ones you like if they dont come in white and have the silver ones powder coated or painted white

hey scotty, smithy ses ur the guy in the knnow about coating the
wheels. can i do this at home or will i have to get a garage to do
it? and roughly how much do u think itll cost?

cheers

i paid £120 for four wheels to be sand blasted, this is bringing the wheels back to bare metal which removes scuff marks, mild kerbing, then they were powder coated in white.

Its not something you cna do yourself as it uses specialist equipment.

But if you wanted to paint them that wouldnt be to hard, sand back a good bit and primer paint and lacquer

if you buy them new they shoudl come wiht all spacers necessary

it depends if you want performance and best hadnlign stick to 15's on 195/45 tyres if you want looks 17's or whatever you think is best

16s prob best compromise then? cheers m8, uve bin a big
help. when i get it fitted will post a couple of pics.

if your getting 16's then get 195/40 tyres they wont rub and will be around same size as 15's so just baout equal performance

26th November 2004, 03:43

dont get 195/45/16's like i did. Pain in the bum!! need to get new tyres now!
atleast 40's wont rub !

26th November 2004, 17:08

16's on 195/45 tyres, lowered 50mm with 5 people plus luggage sitting on the bump stops, no rubbing here

26th November 2004, 19:16

Heyy !!! Thats not fair. Have you had any work done on the arches?? I had to have some done , but I bet it would rub with all that lot in there !

£600, for wheels and tyres is that ??

27th November 2004, 01:03

yeah 600 the lot

but not sure. gotta give the demon tweeks bloke a ring. what u
think tho good deal?

27th November 2004, 04:57

angle grinder, paint, waxoyl thats all you need

600 is kinda normal price for 16's i think, have you tried GSMotorsport off here? i would before you buy anything
