Quick pic of my 200SX

[Dan Page]

Just spent £750 having the wheels refurbed! Most expensive refurb ever?

 

[Final Maxim]

more money than sense!

 

[Dan Page]

There not too shabby though

 

[bmh.01]

Why the hell did that cost 750 notes?

 

[_Tom]

Nice although thats hardly the best angle on the old 14a

Im not really sure, im assuming they were split mirror polished and put back together.
Or he's had a wider dish put on the back.

Nobody wants to touch them to refurb them for a start as they need to take them apart to do a proper job and its supposed to be high risk of getting them to seal again properly apparently :s

Also the place they went to are supposed to be the best in the country, Pristine in Milton Keynes if anyone has heard of them? Washed them about four/five times now and the paint and laquer on both the wheel and the dish is bloody perfect!

u got done!!! 750 lol!!!

splitting and resealing is a piece of piss!!! i have split a set of rims and resealed them fine!! getting them apart can be hard but you just use glaziers sealant on them to re seal!

750 is far to much!!!

u could of got the lips gold or chrome plated for less!!!

That does seem like a expensive refurb, how much are the BBS alloys new?

 

[Dan Page]

I cant remember exactly but you cant get them anymore.

My mate priced them up (well what he used to sell them at) and iirc they were in the region of £2400 wheels alone for 10j and 8.5j like mine.

My mate had his OEM BBS Rims split and mirror polished there for £200.
Those do look tricky to split, but i would have taken them apart myself and saved a fortune. But that said its a great looking job.

Those are 2 piece arent they?

 

[Rudi]

very very nice mate. my mate has 300zx, awesome motors the sx/zx's. nice touch with the plate too.

 

[_Tom]

Just remembered it had a gash spolier on before didnt it. Looks much better returned to standard.

Didnt you crash it too?

 

[Dan Page]

They are 2 piece but im very impressed with pristine even if it was a bit of expensive im still over the moon with them and probably would have paid upto 1k for the job they have done as they were pretty bad to say the least, also the lip was diamond cut, duno if thats a hard job or anything :s Actually, all of the wheels were refurbed completely inside and out which most places dont do?

Well if they were £2,400 brand new, then £750 for a decent refurb isn't too bad in comparison.

 

[Dan Page]

Yep, spun out leaving a roundabout and had to have a new wheel, track rod end and lower arm. Completely my fault and all part of learning to drive RWD i think! Certainly wont be happening again in a hurry....

[_Tom]

Haha it takes a while to get used to them but once you have theyre awesome..

 

[Nigel]

Remember seeing this at the west mids rolling road day. Mint car, absolutely immaculate.

If your happy with the finish and price then who cares.

 

[Dan Page]

This was it when i first had it except it was plastered in stickers that were covering scratches and a cracked wing mirror
Had all these sorted though so now its perfect condition inside and out, except im after a splitter still!!!

 

[spirez]

Looks nice but that is a rip off IMO!

 

[jon_r]

My next track car will be one of these. I love them now.

That one looks spot on.

 

[AlexS]

Plate is cool and I love the wheels.

 

[Ian_182]

That is really stunning

 

[MaLicE]

red is the best colour

 

[GinandGasoline]

Pristine are renowned in our area for having an excellent reputation... and seeing them wheels now kinda confirms that.

£750 might seem steep, but the job looks s**t hot and so long as you're happy with the finish, it's all good.

just make sure you park up needing a taxi to the kerb would hate to wreck the good work for a schoolboy bit of parking!

 

[R3OBC]

There is something about that car.......... i just love it!!! Nice one Dan

 

[Christopher]

sooooo much better than when you bought it Dan

amazing work

 

[cat171]

It looks so much better now, I like it a lot.

 

[Jamie]

The plate is excellent.

 

[Ali]

FCUK that! I've got a guy up here who used to polish all our old porsche rims for about 250! And the dish on them with Mega!

 

[Alan]

Stunner..

Dont change a thing..

 

[Gaz_]

There not too shabby though

Nice job, but cheap tyres?

 

[Djw Dave]

Very nice!

 

[Dan Page]

Cheek!

Lol there hankooks (or however you spell it) deffinately not cheap tyres, you cant see hankook on the tyre in the pic but they deffinately are.

It was a toss between them and toyo proxes but the proxes IMO are shite in the wet after trying them on my 1.2 clio for a while.

There not too shabby though

Nice job, but cheap tyres?

 

[phil1988]

nice car mate ur gonna be one pissed off person when u curb those alloys lol

 

[MaLicE]

lol after having a 200 hankooks are ditch finders in this weather lol good for drifting as they dont delaminate to much but apart from that, in this weather i would only fit gsd3's

 

[Dan Page]

How much are the gsd3's malice?

Im not overly impressed with the hankooks dont get me wrong and i know i cant really compare to the proxes as i had them on a fwd 1.2 clio lol but they were s**t too. Will try the gsd3's next then

 

[Ian_182]

I had a set of proxes on my 172 and in the dry were great.In the wet though i agree....pants

 

[Leeshez]

It looks nice.
