ripped_fear Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 thanks mate, Only going to be doing the centres as the chrome on the new ones is in a bad way, the lips should poilsh up ok though. Enough for the one day anyway, then they will have a full refurbishment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitz Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 a set of 18" Weds wheels. Pics soon If they're the ones that 'Rummy' was selling they will look great on your car. Reason being as mine and your car looks very similar (ignore my old garage pics) and I would want them on my car (albeit stripped and refurbed in black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was sent some more detailed pics and they definitely need a good refurb but reckon they should look good once done. Im thinking of going for a flat silver insert. not sure yet though may just go for a high gloss silver or gunmetal. That's cool your car sounds like one of the great then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 ok i have my wheels and off to regal in 30 mins. The wheels are putting up a good fight for polishing, but they will have to do untill after japfest. Loving the width of these though They should look lovely once fully refurbd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattdavies Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Are they Two or Three piece ? If they are two piece would it be easier to remove the centres and then polish them ? or fit them two the rear of the car, Jack it up, Put it in gear and then polish as they go round ( This is not recommended and is a little crazy but i have seen it done) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 They will look great Jake. Good buy, looking forward to seeing them fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
