Hello :smiley:
Finally sorted out my wheels after taking forever to decide!! :rolleyes:
Right gone for something unique that im pretty sure no one else will have, which i like. Kept the original wheels which are MIMs and had them refurbed. See pics below. Gloss black deep dish with polished lip. :shocked: What you lot think?
Before

After

They are a bit dirty so don't think that is the final finish.

I like :smiley:
how much did it cost to referbished?
-
Cheers matey!
Cost me £200 and im really happy with how they came out. :smiley: The chap put so much hard work into them because the rim was so badly rotted in places because of the winter salt and they came out a treat. Much more original than the ronal turbos i was going for.
-
looks really nice mate
never seen them rims before! :cool:
-
Hummm.... who told you they were MIMs... :undecided: :wink: :grin:
They are mint wheels, and very hard to get hold of. I would keep them for as long as possible mate, as they look mint and sit well on the motor. :cool: :cool:
-
:cool:
-
lovely looking wheels man... suits the car really well...
-
looks good, now lose that sunstrip!! :wink:
-
Very nice! :cool:
-
Thanks guys! :smiley:
Finish the car off perfectly.
Slick - Don't worry matey they aren't going anywhere. It's nice to have something different from everyone else on the car. Makes the car unique in it's own way.
As for the sunstrip i'm finding it very hard to part with. All my cars have always had them and i now can't drive without one :undecided: Might change to one the same colour as the car. Got the idea from here:- http://www.vw-cup.co.uk/index.htm
-
Wheels look gorgeous mate, whered you have them done? Am getting the same treatment done to the set of schmidt revolutions i have sitting in the basement! Love the black centre/polished lip look! Nice car too!
-
the two things i would change are the windscreen wiper and the mirrors.
-
lookin very nice hun..kinda the wheels ive been lookin at but still not convinced they'd suit the cab but look well smart on urs :cool:
why not get a tinted windscreen? ive been eyeing up a one thats blue and sitting on blokes citi :laugh: think it would look rather :cool: :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
-
Cheers Mk2 Ozz! I had them done at Max Powder - http://www.maxpowderalloys.co.uk/ Really nice bloke and they do such a good job! Ahhh schmidt's! Lovely wheels, if only i had the money... :wink:
Dink - Thanks hun would give you an opinion but haven't seen a proper pic of your cab :undecided: Guess i could invest in a tinted windscreen or maybe a roof chop :shocked: I hate decisions.
Slick - Would consider the wipers but the original spindle hole for the drivers side has been welded and smoothed. Mirrors i'm looking into. I will have a look around the traders and stalls at big bang.
-
ill see if i can get bloke to get a pic..mite not be to everyones taste, but id quite like it on the cab.. :smiley:
Dinx :kiss:
