I'm a CS Sheep and now have coloured wheels.

[Si]

Yer. So 2118s are more common than a Kerry Katona show on ITV2 so I've popped them off for the time being and I are currently rocking douchebag stylee coloured OZ F1s. The main idea with these is to keep them for track wheels but as I've just bought a flat I cant afford a track day. Silly me.

Bought the wheels from Edewer a while ago (ages ago if i'm honest) and have spent months re-furbing and painting them myself. I think they were once on Rob's ph1?

4 were un-marked but one had a nasty gouge out of it. So I had it welded up and got friendly with my file and some filler...

Before:

After:

It's not perfect but as it's the 5th of the set I'm just going to use it as a spare. I've painted it black. The other 4 are now red. Like so...

It's rather lovely having the R888s back on. Never appreciated the difference in grip when I first had them fitted. Still a little bit of life in them.

Hope you like! 2118s will be back on after a through clean-up.

And yes, that's warren's old ph1. Now owned by my rather lovely friend Stu.

Look spot on........

 

[Rob]

My poor wheels, you wouldn't believe the trouble making one of those to match caused me, and you just went and painted it red!!!

I joke, anyway, good job mate, they look brilliant.

 

[Si]

Thanks bud

Did you buy a 5th when one got damaged? I saw one looked like it was originally black whereas the others were silver.

 

[Will.]

Bright colour wheels = WIN.

History of the wheels:

Got four wheels like this off of Daniel (on the car), and then I had an altercation with a kerb and someone who couldn't drive.

I sourced the fifth wheel, it was silver, but I've got mad skills with the paint y0, so I created the other one.

Painting the lip was a real pig, but they turned out ok in the end.

I thought the smashed wheel was irreparable, I'm shocked you managed it TBH! I only let it go with the set as it made a good spare.

Nice work though, considered some blue viynl to go on, match the paint?

 

[Si]

I'm not quite sure what viynl is but I'm interested to hear your ideas.

One of them was totally black. Assumed it was bought that way.

Pics of the repair in progress if you're interested:

Poor final pic but you can just about make out where the lip is still slightly thicker around where it was welded.

It'll never be perfect as the whole area is slightly deformed.

 

[Rob]

Are you sure the all black isn't where I sprayed it all over??

The repair - Holy f**k, was it worth it for what is a £40 wheel? Mental! (But I admire the commitment)

It's really nice to see these used though, you could go with some stickers from Ady, like the red ones that were on there, but in blue

 

[Si]

Ahhh! I see your point! They were a b*****d to get off. haha.

I know what you mean, I like a project though. Very rare I actually get my hands dirty these days.

It might be from where it sprayed over I guess, looked like a fairly even coverage though.

 

[Si]

Could do with centre caps also. I don't mind not having them on the 2118s but these need them.

 

[Nick172Cup]

Not a fan of red wheels, especially on a monaco as they dont even compliment each other. Has turned this car from a nicely done subtle car to a 'look at me!' silly looking car.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Nowt wrong with a bit of red although not the best colour for it monaco

 

[Sir_Dave]

I hated them with a passion when Rob had them (possibly even more than his current things), but red is fine. A bit 'look at me' though

 

[Gally]

They clash with the Monacoooo!

I miss the heavy wheels...

 

[Goodj]

Nothing wrong with OZ wheels.

 

[Rob]

You'll love me soon... Maybe...

(p.s I hate you for damaging that dash, so we're even).

 

[Si]

Appreciate they're not to everyone's taste but in the future they will be for track only. It's nice to have a decent period of time to clean the 2118s up too, rather than rush through it in part of a day.

As for the colour. Revels did photoshops of many many colours. Only Bright green and orange came close, maybe purple. Wasn't too sure about those though as they clash with the rear lights. I feel red works best.

 

[oliver.james]

I like it, works for me

 

[Will.]

If they are going to be for track, should have done all different colour y0.

 

[Si]

I did think of that... but just woould have made painting more annoying and prob more expensive.

 

[Christopher]

Great effort big man!

Awesome wheels. Way better than most other 15" jobbies, great choice!

 

[Birdie*]

You've done a great job on that refurb to be honest, you wouldn't notice unless it was pointed out. The red must look class when going round a track.

 

[Christopher]

If you fancy selling them, let me know.

[Si]

<3 you guys.

Cwissy - The OZs? I might do. See how the house move goes.
