Wheels getting powder coated

[Ed...]

took my wheels to "the wheel specialist" today in openshaw, they have so much choice of colour I could not make my mind up, in the end i went for a plain old gun metal grey as its the closest to the original on the 197 wheels, I got full refurb on 4 wheels for 220 all in and I cant wait to get em back. the wheels are off a megane 230 Ill post some pictures when I get the call to pick them up..

 

[197eddy]

Yeah please let us know how they turn out.

I had a quote off them the other day and hoping to get a set of wheels done from there soon, so would be interested to find out how you get on!

i think ive upladed the wrong picis there
before

after

I do think the car looks better with that extra inch, didnt want to change the OE look of the car too much so went for the Gunmetal again. cant wait to get my disks on now

 

[Foxspeed]

yep - looks lots better on 18............but for ultimate handling i still think the 17 have it ;/

 

[Ed...]

I have to agree with the handling comment. the car feels a little more unstable with these on. looks have overidden practicality lol getting a set of cup racers off craig at APD for track days

[Ed...]

[Ed...]

mention "cliosport" - you usually get a discount

 

[Ed...]

yeah funny u shud say that as I got 25% lol

 

[Ed...]

i think the wheel specialist are doing a fantastic job and at a such a good price the mobile ones will soon be a thing of the past especially when they turn out like this VVVVV





this was done by a company called total refurb solutions oldham i have no objection to naming and shaming as this is how my wheel was left and could not contact the perso resposible as they would not answer there phone:@

 

[Foxspeed]

"total referb" more like "quick blow over" :thumbdown:

 

[Ed...]

i know I was disgusted with this .. . . beleive it or not these are renault stockport main refurb contractor
