Yes, even though Ryan said not, they were in good clean condition.

I didn't need his scene tyres and I paid extra for the gold BBS centres.

Maybe get them re-polished this year.

Did you dilute it? Did you leave it on longer than the 5-10 minutes?

Yea but not enough :( My own fault really. Left it on for 2/3 minutes.

Really wanted it set up for EE this Sunday, That won't be happening now.

Quoted £40 per wheel for powder coat, But with finish will never be the same.

See told ya' so. Very nice job, but £250 is quite expensive!

For acid dipped, sand blasted and powder coated?

Got quoted £40 per wheels at other places (just for power coating)

I really do exceed my self some times, got the wheels for £200, Messed the paint up so had to get em re-done for anther £250 = £450

The wheels new are £350 :paperbag:

Looking good mate, but personally I would have stuck with the Bullets. I'll be making the trip to Players next weekend so might see you and the car down there! :)

Thanks man! All my mates say the same thing about the wheels.. My car, my choice. :innocent:
