The centres were powdercoated, the barrels were bare polished. It was the barrels that I had to polish every single time I washed it. lol

You won't want to re polish your lips for 2 years! It's by far the best detailing product I've ever used. Haven't used a wheel cleaner for years now, just soapy water

Adding pics

More updates from 3.20am!!

He's sent me a quick vid showing him re-sanding one of the rims as he's not happy with the polished finished!!

Unfortunately, he's having trouble getting a polished finish on the inside of the centre caps, so we might have to leave them the standard way round:thumbdown:

We were going to put them on inside out as they were more dished and had a cleaner look to them

Yes I see now mate. You might have to keep them the face side up now.

We'll adapt and overcome some way, just haven't figured it out just yet!! Might be looking at a lathe but I'd be afraid it would was up my wheels?

So the other centres had been painted, which meant they had to be treated...

They look great, you should fit them like that! [emoji13]

Ha! Bleedin Comedian!!:tt2::lol:

Well, I ordered the new nuts and bolts today, should be here by Friday at the latest as they're coming from Germany, got the chrome ones:thumbup1:. Wheels are going to be ready for painting the inside of the spokes by next week also

Who did you get them from and how much were they each Richie?

Got them from Pertch & Partner, website is Titanium-touch.de, got 200 nuts and bolts for €157 delivered, think the bolts were 58c each and the nuts were 26c each, I was able to get the 19% vat deducted as my mate has a VAT no. so saved €30 odd

Bolts turned up this morning!!

Insides of centre spokes are going for painting shortly, just pricing around at the minute.

Right, have a shop that will paint the inner spokes for €50 if I do the masking up, so here's the first two.

Should get the other two done by lunchtime and then they're off for paint:biggrin:
