Turbine re-spray (56K beware )

[Remedi]

I fitted my newly resprayed Phase 1 16v wheels today in the bloody rain!

I know powdercoating is the best way but i felt like doing a little project.

[donsrno1]

Do you not get a lot of scrubbing if its lowered 55mm with "55 profile baloon tyres"

 

[Remedi]

PM sent Justy

donsrno1 - No rubbing at all, but i took out all the mud guards to fit 17s a year ago.

 

[Turkish]

Really impressive for a homer, looks a good finish. definately get some 45 profiles on them when you change the tyres

 

[BRUN]

yup, nice work on the refurb

when you need tyres though get em changed to 195/45/15, thats the profile they should have on for your car

 

[Remedi]

Yeah definately.

I noticed the lighter steering when i had the tin 13s on.
