Wheels Refurbed This Week
« on: 23 May 2009, 17:02 »
After 'pikey-ing' around with odd colour wheels for 6 months, I finally got around to getting my Superleggera's done this week.  Although I've got them back in a colour I didn't settle on (Hello, Northeast, lol! :D), I'm still chuffed to bits with them.  I was torn between Shadow Chrome, Titanium & Hyper Silver.  I eventually settled for Hyper Silver, but I think I've got Titanium back.  I never noticed until I put them back on the car today!  :rolleyes:  :D

Before; With 3 tatty silver wheels, 1 gunmetal one, odd/corroded centre caps & over-heated, red front calipers:-






After;  With Brand new centre caps & refreshed calipers:-  8)

No, not yet. Don't think the swap is likely until next year, looking at things. :(

I got the 2 front Dunlops off a mate who works at a tyre place. Only paid £30 for the pair, which was a cracking deal considering they had 6-7mm on them!!

In all honesty, I wasn't expecting much, but I must say the dry & wet grip is excellent. I haven't noticed any extra road noise or anything, & I'll keep my eyes on the wear rate for you. :afro:
