[Alastair.]

that looks like a wheel to me, not a centre cap

 

[dajones]

[Clart]

nice, diy job or powder coated?

 

[dajones]

diy rattlecan job!
ford grahite grey

 

[Clart]

r u going to laquer it?

 

[Mells]

Looks like you need to get some wheel cleaner on them to brighten them up.

This stuff gets rid of baked on brake dust brilliantly

 

[dajones]

cheeky

it is laquered just a crap pic!! + the tyres are also painted LOL (i am getting new tyres fitted before putting on the car) so theres no real contrast between the two

 

[dajones]

 

[Dargs]

Nice choice, same colour as mine

 

[kevin.s]

look quite nice. tell them to be carefull putting the new tyres on though as it may take the paint off round the edge.

[clio_luke]

much better without.

I'm not being rude but I'll be amazed if even the best tyre fitter can fit tyres to them without chipping the paint... You should of let all the air out and pushed the outside tyre wall in and paint right round the lip.

I bet as soo as they take the old tyres off half the paint will flake off.

toyos are cheaper but ive already had these before and liked them! they seem to be really quiet and really grippy!! can handle water really well with a decent thread!
