ahhhh forgot i hadnt updated this! yeah theyre on now!!! 

 

im at work atm but will try and get some pics uploaded ASAP!!   went to Stancism Show over the weekend so got some pretty good ones

[Chris1992]

so, tyres were mounted up last week.

 

 

but its not off to a great start, as the garage made a right pigs ear of it.

 

firstly (as you can probably see) they put the weights on the outside lip of the wheel which looks crap, so i had to paint them black so it would look alright for Stancism. also, i got them to fit 2 new tyres, and specifically told them to put them on the front wheels (ive got staggered offset), i even labelled the wheels and everything.... and what do they do?... they put them on the rears 

 

the worst part? they managed to chip the powdercoat on every wheel... even though they assured me they would use the plastic guards and it would be damage free. i took the wheels to another garage for a second opinion and they said there is no way they used the guards... 

 

here is some of the worst damage

 

 

 

 

after i complained they have offered to rebalance them with the weights inside, and to get them repowdercoated, but to be honest its going to be so much hassle i dont know if i can be bothered, so ill just get them to do the balancing and then touch it up with a paint brush. hopefully the beauty rings will cover the damage anyway...

 

speaking of beauty rings. i still havent received the ones i paid for nearly a month ago ... but tbf the guy im getting them from is being helpful, and i do genuinely feel like he is having trouble with his supplier..

 

 

 

but anyway, this post is getting a bit too depressing for my liking!!!... so without further or do

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BOOM!!!!!!!

 

 

and now a couple of nice fancy ones 

 

 

 

im so ridiculously in love with these wheels 

 

stay tuned, ive got a few more little updates that ill put up later
