Williams One Wheels Question

y0z2a · May 5, 2004

Do they have the silver lips to the wheels or are they all gold?

If they are all gold - they have been refurbed?

/y0z

Daz · May 5, 2004

Yes, they have Silver Rims.

If they are all Gold, they have been refurbed.. badly.

y0z2a · May 5, 2004

Gold with Silver Lip I am informed.

Have a look at my thread, as mine are differant to every other Williams Ive seen so far. Not sure why they are though.

And mine are Genuine.

Had a thought Northy.

If your convinced your wheels are original and not been refurbed, are they actually Speedlines? Or a set of the Prima Copies?

Should say Speedline on them.

Mat.

northy · May 7, 2004

Speedline pal. Looked at all the codes and they match against MartinS 100% original ones direct from renault.

Think it is just Williams 3s which were differant from the 1s and 2s.

Anyway they will be refurbished as they currently are.

Werent yours slighty different to mine tho northy?

Cant remember exaclty what we discussed but if i recall correctly didnt you say your silver rim didnt go all the way into the tyre bead but back to gold?

northy · May 7, 2004

I need to see a picture of yours Bri.

Any chance of taking one tomorrow for me ?

BigBoreBri · May 7, 2004

Yea mate, hold on and ill try n get one for you just now...

northy · May 7, 2004

Bit dark but I seen em. Can you redo photograph em during the day tomorrow pal.

They look mint.

BigBoreBri · May 7, 2004

Will do mate...

Matbrown · May 7, 2004

The wheels on my car are from a Willy 3 and the silver rim carries on towards the tyre.
The brand new wheels my mate has are the same!

Mat.

FATBOY · May 7, 2004

yeah true mat brown! all the willys be it 1,2,3, had the silver rims!!!!

Ben H · May 8, 2004

All Williams wheels fitted by Renault have silver rims.

AFAIK, Speedline made the same wheels for ages after in gold, but without the silver rim.

Not for Renault tho..

I didnt think they made any others, apart from for Renault - thats why you cant get them at all.. from Speedline or anywhere apart from Renault.

northy · May 8, 2004

I know they all the williams had the silver rim, but what im intrested in is how far the silver dimond cut rim goes.

Either just the lip, or all the way up and into the tyre.

BigBoreBri · May 8, 2004

Here are those other pics you were after mate...

I cant do anything about the blurry-ness im afraid, the camera is pants!

northy · May 8, 2004

Cheers Bri, theyre like everyone elses ive seen so far.

Need to see if flaming mo-honkey can post a pic. His sound the same as mine.

Cheers again.

FlamingMonkey · May 8, 2004

Yeah mine are gold after the silver lip very hard to see but it is there, you going york tomorrow Northy fella, you can have a butchers then.

I would take a pic but I only have a camera phone so quality aint the best

northy · May 8, 2004

No mate. Other family stuff planned. Pmed ya about the pics

Are you off to FCS.

FlamingMonkey · May 8, 2004

Thats what they are supposed to be!

[Edited by Daz on 09 May 2004 at 7:50pm]

Edit, I got that wrong - they should NOT be gold after the Silver rim..

northy · May 9, 2004

Sorry if im being a trev but -

Daz yours are gold after the dimond cut rim ? Like this then -

http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1083584540__Picture23.jpg

Anyone else agree that the 3s dimond cut rim must of been revised from the all silver 1s & 2s ?

BigBoreBri · May 9, 2004

I Disagree mate, check my pics as mine arnt... and i know for certain there the origonal un-touched ones!

Their may be a rouge batch out there that were made by speedline perhaps?

Or maybe only the very late ones were like above? Mine was reg 08/95...

Illusion · May 9, 2004

Mine are the original ones, cos theyre badley curbed and yes u get the silver rim.

If ur wheels are all gold, then its been refurbed...badley im afraid.

Mine have been refurbed, so mine are probably a bad example.

I know an original Williams 3 Alloy is silver after the rim..

007 · May 9, 2004

As far as im aware you cannot get them refurbed with the diamond cut rim - I can get them done by someone with a Silver rim but not the original diamond cut. Not sure that maybe just having the gold rim may be better than a silver non-diamond cut rim.

BigBoreBri · May 9, 2004

It is possible to diamond-cut them again, just need the right machinery and cutting tips etc...

Saying that theres probably not many re-furb places capable of carrying it out

Daz · May 9, 2004

Ive yet to find a place which does them the right colour, which lasts and has the silver rim at all..

Most them dont..

Only way to get original original seems to be buy new ones from Renault - which aint cheap.

FATBOY · May 9, 2004

mine have been diamond cut again when i had mine refurbed!!!!

007 · May 9, 2004

Living way up here theres nobody that can do it - havent got round to deciding what to do about them.

The cars immaculate apart from the alloys but id much rather have average alloys the right colour than refurbed alloys the wrong colour. I still havent got a exact match for the original paint code as no one has heard of it. They only know pantone and ral.

how bad are the wheels mate? they in a bad way?

007 · May 9, 2004

They look ok from a few meters away but not up close - 5/10 maybe.

I used silver and gold touch up paint on the rotton/kerbed bits so they look fine from a distance.

northy · May 10, 2004

Well, Ill just agree that mine appear differant to everyone elses and get them refurbished to the same spec as what they are now.

MarkRS · May 10, 2004

Havent really read all the prev posts...but as far as im aware, the gold bit should continue upto the tyre after the diamond cut silver rim, - Leigh bought some new ones from renault and his were like this.
