Little photshoot after a wheel refurb!

[dann2707]

Made a thread a few weeks ago wondering what colour I should refurb my wheels in, I decided with amphasite in the end and here is the finished product!

Ended up not spending too much either as my Dad took them to a local place near his that does sand blasting so got them cleaned up for free. Spent around £40 on materials that included wet and dry paper, primer, colour and lacquer and the best part is as we're friendly with the garage they showed me how to fit and remove tyres and balance wheels and let me do it myself for free so all in all a fairly nice saving!!

Cheers

This is what they looked like before:

After!

Turned up the contrast and saturation on this for some reason. Different I suppose!

Needs the tyre soap removing fully and some tyre shine applying but that can come at a later date.

It is. I'm not sure mate. I've seen quite a few 04 182's though!

Nice nipples

Thank you, I found rubbing mayo on them daily keeps them in a perky and smooth condition.

Looks tidy, have you ever had any grief about the plates?

 

[dann2707]

I've only had them on for around 2 weeks but driven past a few police cars and nothing yet. Doubt I will either as the police around here are so relaxed about stuff like that. Probably jinxed myself now haha

182's came out on a 53 plate. But there were very few of them.

Back on topic though, Avon and Nangkang tyres?! That must be a handful! lol

The Avons are supposed to be high performance but I'm not so sure!

Upgrading as soon as I get my very first paycheck.
