Your G60s come in cheap and cheerful silver, with poor coverage, and very likely scuffs and chips.. mine did!  get them repainted the same colour, by someone that knows how to paint! they'll look awesome, very silver and very shiny :cool:

Well i did me steels in nimbus grey in the end, heres how they look:



opinions?

got a problem now tho one or maybe both of the rear wheels are making a sort of low pitch wuring\drone noise from about 20mph+, i thought that the bearings might be knackered but jacked it up and shaked the wheels and no play at all, i also thought they might not be seated properly so took em off and cleaned the hub but the noise is still there, any ideas?

Thanks

the steels look good on it

As for the noise spin the wheels by hand and see if you can hear any noise, this will rule out bearings

Another thing you can try is to put your hand on the tyre and slowly spin it and feel if the tread is stepped/uneven, this will also cause a wheelbearing type noise

cheers, yeah i spun the wheel and there is no noise, put you could be right about the tyre thing cause the rear tyres have been used for a thousand miles or so in the past.

Thanks for the help :)
