  1. Yup go for that, very B)

     

    They do look very nice but as I say, not seen that finish in the flesh so don't know whether it will look "too chromey" if you know what I mean. Also would be worried about polished lip as I know some struggle to stop them rusting.

     

    Really like your anthracite wheels but to avoid them being to dark on mine, thought that a lighter silver outer lip would look good also.

  2. Ok, called the wheel specialist and they are willing to reduce the price to bring things in line with the other company I found (across the road from each other).

     

    They are both really handy as I drive past them everyday on the way to work. Now just got to decide on what colour to go for.

     

    How do you think this type of finsih would look on a gunmetal car?

     

    viewtopic.php?f=61&t=50351 not seen this colour in the flesh but pics look very nice. I wouldn't go with a polished rim (maybe standard chrome or silver)

     

    Other options are anthracite or hyper silver.

     

    any views?

  3. Purchased a set of Rays from a forum member (very good price by the way) and would like to have them refurbed so that I can have them in my colour of choice.

     

    Have done an online quote with the wheel specialists but all in they are looking for £340. Have looked at a few other companies and many seem to offer cheaper but not sure whether the quality would be as good.

     

    Does anyone know of any other companies around Birmingham / West Midlands that offer a good service closer to the £250 mark?

  4. thanks all, have opted for the Vredstein as it seems they come highly recomended with zed drivers, which is good enough for me, guess if they last 2 yrs like my falkens did then i wont complain especially if they are better only time will tell, not cheap this tyre lark

     

    Where did you find them and how much they going for?

  5. Hi Neil.

     

    Really depends on condition of the wheels. Had a couple of people contact me but waiting on further info and photo's. Traders have advised £700 ish for a quality set but hoping to get a set all in for around £500 max including refurb if required (which I can get for around £250).

  6. I understand what you are saying but would rather just make the change and have done with it. Swapping things back and forward to make sure I pass an MOT is just unnecessary hassle IMO.

     

    Ideally would be good to create a few extra bhp but like you say on a NA it is gonna be nowehere near what you are talking, maybe 5 or 6 at best which I doubt I would even notice. If the HFCs are not going to get me through an MOT I will stick with the cats and may get a better Y pipe to get some sound and flow improvements.
