Done My 172 Rims Abit Different...

[Faxo]

Well i threatened to do it, and i have! Taken a while but i was in no rush as ive got Trophy Turinis on it atm.

I used to have my std 172 wheels in black, but got bored so sold them, but i couldn't resist buying another set inc caps for £60. They were curbed up a treat, so away they went to the place i always use and came back a lovely gloss black, all for an even lovlier £64 :approve:

Then i set about doing the different bit. Took my time, and this is the result! Only done one so far, but as i said, im in no rush!

Comments welcome, good or bad

This is the 4th set ive had done, and im still more than impressed. Its a place near leeds/bradford airport, £1 an inch and 300 colours available

Do a search for £1 an inch powdercoating

I like the look! As I said in that German 197 thread I posted earlier heh - I posted that before I saw this thread as well <makes X-files / Twilight zone music noises>.

Was wondering about this. The diamond need spraying because they're scratched, but would doing them red make it look abit naff?

Thanks for comments guys!

Yea, the powdercoaters was a good find by my mate, litterally a tiny door! If they get enough in to leave the burn off oven on all night, the turn around is usually 2 days, so like i took 8 rims down so that was fine. Really sound guys too.

f**king bargain!

looking forward to pics on the car

Am actually really impressed with those, they look stunning! Definately re-enforcing my decision to have mine done black! Love it!

Looking forward to seeing pic's of the finished items on the car!
