Title: Time to re-vamp my wheels....
Post by: fullpint on 31, October, 2012, 07:05:20 PM
Ive given up looking for a set of 13's  :( Missed out on a set of 5 spoke 13 x 7 today.. So I guess I will just have to give my 15's a going over!!!
So what colour!?!?!?!?
Well you will have to wait and see. I can tell you know they won't be matching  ;)

Got the hang of my tyre machine now. Took off the rear tyres today and they have ended the day like this;

Great job on the wheels - the finish looks A1. With all the skills and bits of kit you've got you're not going to be short of friends ;D 8) ;)

Can't comment on the choice of colours though - I'm colour blind ;D :P

I must admit it does cause a few problems  ;D

- but more worryingly it appears to alarm passengers in a car that I'm driving, if I have to ask them what colour the approaching traffic lights are :o :o :o

All in situ. Not balances tho!! Mind you ALL the wheels I have done on my cars/van/bikes Ive never had them done. Had the Indy up to 80mph (on an airfield!?!?!?) and got NO vibration at all  ;)
All I need now is to get rid of that nasty screen, kind of lets the whole car down I think.. In the market for an aero one please  ;) ;)
