    I had this set of wheels lying in my garage for about a year (came of my sisters old coop conv) and decided to get them refurbed, as they were all kerbed.

    Got them done at a place Chris Knox knows very well and very happy with the look. They are a sparkly silver finish in the sunlight.















    Update my Gallery page also.

    aye me too, but with only 3 centre caps after some scumbag nicked one, I can't use them... they are in my garage...

    one day I will find an engineering company that could make me a metal copy of them and I could use them again...

    yeah did think about them. not got the cash at the moment for them. Powder coating the wheels was cheaper than buying new tyres (which are needed on my 17's I've just taken off... )

    Very Nice Craig... Wheels really suit the car along with your colour coordinated NMS stickers

    Lokking sweet sraig, love the alloys, your car looks really smart, just a wee thought have you ever thought about putting the aero side skirts on, think it would finish off the look, nice though

    If you mind me asking how much were the powder coats, and where did you get it done, thanks
