Very nice, very nice indeed.  Glad to see they did not turn out blue.   Where did you get the wheels from?  And how much?



They look nice Shaun, although i would of picked Blue  (:angry015:) and Gloss black as  my own preference. :happy2:

Got you 182...it's all in the details. Painting the weights. It's good to hear about a company that does that little bit extra but which makes all the difference to the outcome. Again lovely wheels :happy2:

OK, got them on, just a shame the sun didnt hit them as they look quite dark in pictures, went out and did the old looking at shop windows to see what they looked like and they look very shiny and reflective :-)

forgive the ride height, i had just dropped it off the jacks








One of the wheel weights and to show the flake effect




Oh and my originals now in there wheel bags  :happy2:

Nice wheel bags!

I realised I need a low trolley jack, got one in a deal from Halfords a while ago but not managed to get it under any car I have, even the wife's Touran !

The lighter colour (rather than black) retains the detail. 

They look absolutely fantastic! :drool: :drool: :drool:

So much better than black!
