What do you think of these.......
« on: 08 May 2008, 23:25 »
I picked these up as a cheap replacement for my standard wheels while i refurbed them. I thought they were gonna be in poor condition considering the price i payed but it was all surface dust and sh*t.



Washing them in the bath (shh dont tell the missus)

Trial fit lmao


Amazing what a good bath and a few hours with the SRP can do.
Im gonna get some tyres fitted up next week, possibly go for a bit of a stretch (165/50/15) or just the standard stuff.
Give them a go for a while then maybe go for a colour change etc. What do you all think? :smiley:
