Those are looking pretty damn awesome!

 

I'm going to check out the vid when I get home, work has blocked Youtube, but yeah I'm in the process of fixing up and painting some crappy no-name wheels for myself as well, hope they come up as good as yours

With a lil bit more patience, I probably could have filled all the deeper marks but its the spare and has an original pirelli on it so im not too fussed. The other 4 aren't as bad as this 1 was but it looks awesome in the sun haha

Came out a treat, I have the patience but normally not enough time when it comes to my projects and it shows lol.

Quite frustrated right now. Took my refurbed wheel down to one of my local tyre places to get it flipped as id sprayed yellow putty on the tyre and it was around the wrong way anyway. Pulled the rim out the back of the car today to find that they have damaged the lip! I didnt have it perfect, but it was not like that. A few people know how much work I put into this. Lesson learnt. Take it to drouin tyre and battery next time as a friends brother works there and actually cares for things.

I know its only little, but its still shite

I'd be taking it back and complaining. Straight away. That's really careless and I can imagine how pissed off you must be.

[weaslebee88]

Probably going to go in tomorrow after ive dropped my kids off at the inlaws. So frustrating that they just did that BS and didnt even tell me. I even told them to be careful as it was jist refurbed

[Liberty]

Even more of a reason for me to complain. I'd go as far as I could to make them pay for it. That's the only thing I'm dreading when getting tyres on my own freshly refurbished set of STi rims... I've gotta get some referrals from people to ensure the same doesn't happen.

[weaslebee88]

Definitely get some good references from people. Which im sure plenty have on here. Would hate for this to happen to anyone else.

[Morgan]

Ugh that is so annoying. Stupid careless people.

 

Take it back and have some stern words with them!

[weaslebee88]

Miss Lucy is finally getting the Matt Mcleod treatment this weekend. Cannot wait!!!!! Also, got bored yesterday, had some pink film laying around, made my fogs pink haha. 1 globe works, the other doesnt so its purely for looks until the police question it (have spoken to 1 and he said as long as i leave my fogs off, it *shouldnt* be an issue). Doesnt look too bad :-P

I don't mind it, ha ha. It's a change from all the yellow ones going round. I'll be joining the Matt Mcleod club soon too. I'm running his demo tune at the moment and it's been going really well.

[Zac]

Pink fogs. Haha! 

 

Will not be mistaken for a dude's car. Well, maybe Garry's.

 

Any pics with the wheels on? Sorry to hear about the scratches already from the tyre shop. Not a good time.

[Liberty]

I love pink bits Zac.
