Bought some new wheels on friday as the 17" are too much & causing damage!
As i got them, in need of alot of TLC (photos dont show just how deep and rough them scratches were!) ....







Filled, Rubbed down & Primed




How they look now (about to lacquer)

Looking nice! I'd have been tempted to get the tyres taken off if I was taking on a job like this, but you seem to have done a great job even with them on! Are the centre caps going back on or did you spray over them?

chrome bolt covers and dust caps would set these off, plus a nice centre cap

cheers for the comments

whats furiofanatic?
i only tried 15's to see if my scrubin would stop and it did but the car was way too low. not to worry though, having a full respray and arch mods next month then hopefully some white lenso rs5's the month after

took me a week to do these as its not worth cutting any corners when painting. the paint is just ready mixed stuff from halfords as i only got them on the friday and couldnt wait for some to come if i ordered it.
tyres are marangoni?
