Lovely finish mate, looking forward to pictures.

Very nice indeed, first thing you should do is screw in the wheel nuts and scrape out the paint from inside the holes that the nuts go in, this is a safety thing.

Then get some wheel guard on em before you put them on the car.

The wheel nuts will work themselves loose as the paint/powder breaks up. Think about it, just screw them in now and see how tight they are, when you take them out a bit of the paint/powder will come off.

They failed to tell me about this and me being daft didn't pick up on it until I was getting a very scary feeling through the steering wheel not to mention the noise.

Trust me you need to do this before you put them on the car.

(they being a different place, not the same wherever you got yours done)

Tbf any tyre fitter who damages your wheels will be liable, they are professionals at the end of the day.

Take pictures the day they go in.
