Cheers Wayne, sadly I don't have a torque ratchet just yet, next on the list next pay..

I do have a electric knock gun which I whipped em off and back on with then use a normal wheel brace to tighten up, then used my 16st foot to stand on a couple of each bolts on each wheel..

If anything could be a little too tight.. Will try and borrow a ratchet very soon..

Your prob right, but for 88quid for stripping and powder coating in that silver I can't complain..
There was a premium on some colours so had to refrain from getting to expensive, I'm in trouble for having them done as it is :), i don't think they had another silver to pick, but for now they will certainly do, as much as I love my white wheels, just an inch too small...
