cheekymonkey Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Bought some stock UK wheels for the 'pod. Let's just say they weren't in brilliant condition. But take a look at them two days later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRX Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Wow that does look good! What exactly have you done to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 Acid bath overnight, sandblasting and then painting. Done by a pro though not me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Those are the worse condition stock wheels I've ever seen! What on earth happened to them? Nice end result though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted August 5, 2009 Author Share Posted August 5, 2009 I know. I got them from eBay - nice chap in Wales was selling them. He had just given up racing cars after 24 years and his quote was "I enjoy my cars but I don't wash them". I dread to think what condition his supra was in but he'd already sold it.

GMan Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 That looks awesome, Do you mind telling us where you took them and how much it cost, I'd rather have those than most aftermarket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekymonkey Posted August 6, 2009 Author Share Posted August 6, 2009 I used a local chap who does wheels, however he had to outsource as the job was too big for him. Cost £75 per wheel all in. Dented Pride - http://www.dentedpride.co.uk/ They look even better with tyres on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
