Exactly that mate, sandblasted with tyres on, white primer, pink spray, then lacquer.

Not perfect, but certainly the result I was after    :grin:

Wicked. Cheap and cheerful eh. Beats paying £400 for a full refurb. Suppose the condition before hand depends though! Will certainly look different when on!  :grin:

They were really badly corroded which is why I give them the once over, sandblasting will clear up the actual alloy corrosion/bubbling too!

I'll bring your attention to the spark plug cardboard cover masking the valve  :grin:

Unfortunately these wheels only came with one dustcap, so it's doing the rounds  :laugh:
