Thinking about giving my alloys a refurb and spraying them a different colour. They are the standard 96 gti ones, anyone got any pics of theirs sprayed? trying to decide on a colour, my car is twilight violet so looking for something to go with that, its a cheap mod as i am strapped for cash at the mo and wanting to do something lol. Also can i get away with putting the wheel balancing weights on the inside of the rim as i have a couple on the rear? Cheers

Not that a garage would charge that much for removing 4 tires then sticking them back on once i was finished? Cheers for the rapid replies :laugh:

If you mean not having weights on the outside just get them balanced using stick on.
-
If the rims and fairly bad your best to get the tryes off and get them rebalanced with sticky weights (on the inside)

forgive the question as i did check out the link but what do you do if someone cut clean through a roundabout (in a saxo vtr, tw*t) and cused you too clip the wheel taking a chunk out of the rim.

use a wheel filler, they sell it in halfords somin like this but they sell the filler on its own in the shop and its alot cheaper, also depends how big the missing chunk is.
