It was difficult finding someone that would do what I wanted! I think they may be hard work to keep clean too (but im not complaining  :wink:)

Yeh I wasn't happy with the finish after the stealer had done a repair before they were fitted to the car, and although I didn't want them too glossy Im well chuffed with the result! I've given them a couple of coats of collinite's and they came up a treat  :cool:

I agree with Gaz too, needs lowering a little now :wink:

LMAO!!  :grin: Sorry Shaun your not the first with that witty analogy  :wink:  I'd like to think I was more Face than Mr T!

Company in Wolverhampton by the the of A1 wheels did the work. Came highly recommended and didn't diappoint. Doesn't look much when you rock up there but they are spot on!

Thanks for the comments guys.  :wink:

P.S. Can't see the A-Team van if it's supposed to be there???  :cry:

P.P.S. After seeing the photo's last night I agree it needs lowering! Doesn't look that bad in the flesh though?!?!?! May have to have a chat with the Awsome guys next month at the RR............. £Â£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£Ã‚£  :laugh:

i did deliberatly leave out the van LOL, looks very good, and doesnt look to high imo, if you do lower it try someone elses first as the ride is fairly harsh already

I think its the gloss of the wheel and the angle of the pics that makes the wheels stand out giving the illusion of the car needing lowered.
Looks good though.I am thinking of getting a set of monzas for my car for a wee change now n again.

I aint getting on no plane!

Great looking car Greenouse. I love those wheels.
I wish I could get my dad to invest in a pair of them....

You may be right Keith as it doesn't look as bad in the flesh. If I do lower it would only be 15-20mm max.

Thanks for the comments guys  :wink:

Awesome mate.

Good to hear the feedback on a1 in wolves, my mate had an 18" monza refurbished there and he is very pleased with the work and service.  Good for future reference.  No worries for corrosion with yours now :cool:
