Your car is absolutely gorgeous...

Thanks! Is that your car in your sig? If so good choice of colour

It is! I've just bought it a set of those BBS wheels as well because they look so good on yours! Are yours 15"?

All Solitudes were 15" 

Are these solitudes?:

Or the ones currently fitted to the car, cause I've just bought a set of the ones that are fitted to the car. 

The ones on the car are BBS's from a later VR6, Solitudes are as per this pic.

As Wayne said the ones fitted to my car at the moment are the later BBS VR6 wheels, they are 15"

I've also got a set of solitudes which i'm going to refurb like the pic above and run them for the summer and run the VR6 BBS through the winter. I really like the VR6 BBS wheels, but they're a b!tch to clean

They'll look really nice.

Paint them black, stand back and admire, never have to worry about cleaning them ever again

  Why do you think the solitudes are going black!

Have I not posted the pics of when Khare tried to paint the VR6 wheels himself?

Yeah they're a b!tch to strip and paint, so many edges. The part I failed was at paint stripping. Sand blasting is the ONLY way to get them properly smooth without having to end up with a hand crippled for life.

After seeing those pics it's not something i'm going to try myself

Yeah I tried to refurb some BBS E30 alloys on my 1st mk2 golf ... think I was at it a record breaking 3mins before I decided it was useless, gave up, and went and had a well earned pint
