Wheels are close to being complete. Fed up trying to polish the lip as it was taking up so much time so I just primed the full wheel. Going to spray the lip metallic silver and centre pearl gold.

Paint the full wheel gold, silver always looks shit when painted on after market rims.

Already bought the paint

It is tempting me now though to paint the full wheel gold lol

Finally got the wheels painted. I know I was advised to spray them all gold but wanted a silver lip. Will test fit them this week once I get spacers.

Thanks mate.

I hope they fit but I'm having doubts about them. If they don't fit I'd be tempting to sell and get Porsche twist alloys done in chrome.

Yeah he does spend a bit on it I have got one somewhere I'll try and dig it out it's basically same as yours colour ect running 240bhp

Anywho, got the wheels ready to go on the car tomorrow. They turned out oike this.

I did put them by the car and they look a bit too big to be honest. Hopefully they won't be too bad when on but having doubts.

Spent today putting the wheels on. Finally!! Bought 15mm spacers but they didn't pass the caliper so I had to buy 20mm ones. Had to then higher my coilovers to a suitable height.

Haven't been on in a while so I thought I'd post my updates. Got bored of black so changed colour. Took a week to complete but worth it.
