Joti Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looks good.If I were you when you get them refurbed, when it comes to getting the wheels re-balanced keep those hammer-on wheels weights off and get the stick on ones that go on the inside of the rim.The hammer ones damage the paint/metal on the lip....

AdamGill Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I see what they are but there a lot of money to be chucking at it for a clear bit of plastic haha I would prefer but just seems a waste at this point there's so much more I could do with £100 haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
