there standerd discs just got a engineering firm to drill and groove them  they do look a lot nicer than the standerd 1s  and could of had them made in mat black for a fiver! but my  hubs are newly painted black and the bottom arms and susspension legs etc so silver will set it all off

It is suprising when asking for custom work to be done. Go to a machine shop and a 'complex' job like this can be done by people in the know in a matter of minutes for beer money.

Same with 'custom exhausts', normally cheaper to get one made than to buy one off the shelf  :smiley:
