Post by: vw-john on 12 April 2011, 21:34

So i picked up some tatty looking rims cheap today. all they need is a good clean and probably a painting lol!
but can anyone tell what they are? i dont have a clue, havent been able to look though the dirt on the back to see any markings.

Yeah i would say they are too or exact replicas  :tongue:
anyway I cleaned them up today, they have some heavy curbing around the lip, but its not done any damage.

The chrome lips are irreparable. so i was thinking paint the whole thing black to match my car?
and finally the thing in the centre bore hole is that a spigot ring?

cause one alloy is missing one and does anyone know what size to get or where i cant get one. is ebay reliable
cheers

They look really good, especially when you see the dish. Keep them silver imo  :cool:

I was dubious on first sight but with a proper refurb i reckon they'll look pretty cool.
