jackso11 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have been considering some Jade-R satin black alloys, I know a few of you guys have them and they look pretty cool. Just a though, if they get curbed lightly...does it look really bad and silver? I guess it does, and the aim is obviously not to curb them, but would you guys advise agains black wheels for this reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have or did have silver rota GTR's - now powder coated in a satinish black finish - if they get curbed they will show the bear metel underneath, so, dont curb them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibrar Jabbar Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I done some Jade R's in gloss black last week, looked really good, if you do kerb them they are easy to rectify in either gloss or satin finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 How much would it be to fix a curbed black jade-r? would you have to do all 4 at once to colour match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 For satin if you kerb them just give them a rub down and get a can of spray to touch them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackso11 Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 Just called to try and get a set of these and there is a 6 week waiting time, but the price is worth the wait (dpmotors off ebay). He couldn't give me an exact price but he is selling 19" at £599 wheel only so they should be cheap! Thing is he said they will be 35 offset all round.....seems a bit low to me, would these be ok? 8.5" fronts, 9.5" rears on 18" by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 can anyone confirm this? From other posts it seems it will be fine, but haven't seen 8.5 and 9.5, people tend to go 10" rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they should be fine:) I ordered a set of 18' Jade r's in black from DP as well.............that was on July 21st, waited till Sept and then cancelled them as they said they had a backlog to me as well and they just kept putting the date back;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magictorch Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I paid £499 Del without tyres before i cancelled them. Forgot that bit:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackso11 Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ah, good to know the price. They said to me they had a back log but should be getting enough to cover it in 6 weeks time.....bet you have heard that a million times.
