   well matey first of all i used medium then fine grit sandpaper to key the surface then i used medium then fine wet n dry and dried it all off. Then i used just normal grey primer from halfords, gave it aboot 3 coats, left it to dry, used fine wet n dry to flatten it then left it for 24 hours. Next was to spray the white paint on, very finely, same amount of coats maybe 1 more, then let dry, then flatten with fine wet n dry (ONLY WHEN PAINT IS DRY!!) then let dry, then i added some super SIMONIZ ACRYLIC laquer and voila....done!!
   
   This laquer was so much better than halfords, I got it from ebay, great price!

   nice one, just make sure you take your time, and dont put too much paint on in any one go or itll run and everything will be ruined..like when i put my laquer on earlier and thought eh up that looks fuckin sweet, until 5 mins later LOADS of little flys had decended on it and got stuck in the fuckin laquer LOL

    YAY! what did i say ey Mango & Black always works
    and depends again what budget you have, at least if you keep your vtr wheels it be alot cheaper then buying VTS wheels

    seems like a quality offer tbh unless the vts wheels are fucked, they normaly sell around £150 to £200 with decent tyres, vtr alloys can pick up these days for around £70 to £130 ish
