I have shot blasted the wheels and professionally resprayed them, they were rubbed down after blasting then given a coat of etch primer, followed by a coat of 2k primer, then metallic silver basecoat followed by a coat of black diamond metal flake just to give them a slight hint of grey and a nice metallic shine, then topped off with 2k laquer.
They have vertually new 215/40-17 bridgestone potenzas fitted, all with approx 7.7mm tread.
The wheels are et25 but I have bought a brand new set of 8mm hubcentric spacers for them taking them to et17, these are 73.1 -65.1 center bore spacers so you do not have to use the plastic spigot rings on the wheels, they will be a direct fit, they are a nice bit of kit and very light too, around 250g each, cost me a fair few quid! I also have the correct length tuner wheel bolts, again brand new.
I will also include a set of spigot rings in case the spacers are not needed, I only have 1 pic of the wheels atm so will grab a few more tomorrow.
The only bad point is that 2 of the wheels have some kerbing, I must add that this was there prior to the respray and the wheels have not been fitted since, curbing is not something I do as I'm a sprayer by trade and not a wheel refurbished so I didn't bother with it.
They do look great and I am really pleased with the colour, I just think I would rather run 16's.
Looking for £500 and im located in Boughton Nottinghamshire ng22 9ld, I could bring them home with me if needed to Ilkeston DE7 5PE.
