Ekona Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Ditchfinders You should've put up with ugly wheels than buy cheap shitty rubber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 seems like false economy to me, your buying tyres twice, and the first set wont shift on here. is your excess more or less than the difference you saved temporarily? i would have held off onthe refurb and done the tyres properly. its what im doing. will refurb them once the crap weather passes and the road salting stops.

UNABASHED Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 very nice refurbed wheels but.... ..I would have waited until weather was a bit better - nothing worse than seeing lovely wheels been trashed by the crappy English weather and salty winter roads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player2301 Posted December 4, 2009 Author Share Posted December 4, 2009 to be honest i got these done 3 months ago but they buggerd em up and this week was the only time i could get them done for free by them soo out of choice you are correct i had them done ages ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry3167 Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nice wheels, not sure on the choice of Nankangs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilly199 Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Hope your insurance is fully comp..... Nankang really isn't the best rubber for a powerful car. Or anyother car for that matter. Had em on a 1.2 clio. Nightmare of a tyre, like driving on a plastic wheel from a kids go kart. oh well im doing about 30 miles a week in it and my other car is used to commute but they will get changed after crimbo couldnt really justify spending loads at this time of year !!!! and the bab couldnt play with tyres crimbo mornin lol ( OR COULD SHE !!!!1) Its all good man, if shes a bab then she will probably love tyres to play in and never be non the wiser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokedog Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Did you refurb all 4 wheels? How much did it set you back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player2301 Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 £200 mate for a full refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Was that shot blasted and factory finish? any chance of a closeup on the finish? But if they had to re-do them Its not a good sign TBH. Was thinking of getting mine done after the naf weather by prestige wheels but they want £300, No curbs but they are looking tatty. Think I may get the potenzas replaced with Toyo's as well as have had a couple wiggles recently... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
player2301 Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 mate they had a bad batch of paint so hence they had a few wheels returned £200 was shot blasted refinished and perfect factory finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
