nev Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Got hold of my wheels today, took me all day to recon one of them and get the tyre on but tried it on for size and I so like it!The tyres are popping off the rims but it looks how I imagined. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />Just need to get the rest on now and get the adjusters down a little once the car is level.

nev Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 No caps, looking for them or might make some, I think they look ok without, like the ats wheels I was going to get.There, 7x15 with 165/50/15 on ET12, very boarder line, probs very unsuitable if the tyres didnt stretch that much.

nev Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I got another done today, 6 hours to get this one looking ok, they were in a bad state and very pitted.They have come up good though. Ive gone through loads of polish and polishing wheels. border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />And yes the spoiler will be comming off soon as I find another to replace it which is a little more sensible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vworks41 Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 They look good. Wouldn't replace the spoiler with anything else, just leave it smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro3mark Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 What did you use to polish the wheels up?wanted to know before i re-do mine before i put them onMark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I bought a kit from ebay, comes with polishing wheels and wax, polish and a rubbing compound and some lime to remove execess wax.I used wet and dry to start with to take the scratches out but only the fine ones as I didnt want to go to deep, then used a harsh poly bristle brush.Then the kit in order through a timely process.I then used a good clear laquer specially for wheels that have been polished (available from frost ).Saves £50 a wheel from the refurb companies and they have come up well good. £15 for the kit £10 for the laquer £ some timeTotal cost £25 and a bit timeWear gloves also i had black hands for a day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobG Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 They look smart. There was a guy on here selling a set of oz routes, and i was tempted, but wasn't sure how they'd look, so left it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nev Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I saw them but it was too late as I would have snapped his hands off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stig247 Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 really nice wheels remember seeing some on ebay a while ago which i completely forgot to bid on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieron Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Some of the nicest single piece 15's I've seen. Would deffo look better with flat centre caps imo. Perfect tyre choice and a really good offset make them work really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 LOL@ That spolier. Looks massively out of place.OZ Routes are gorgeous wheels though. My mate has some on his super low mileage G40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
