DJ Dunk Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Strange as it sounds I quite like the colour coded orange as well I thought I'd have a go for a laugh (and to upset the purists ), but it does kind of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lomoto Posted November 6, 2006 Author Share Posted November 6, 2006 look much better, bet the paint was peeling off already I think your mixing these quality rims up with those you have fitted to be honest though I dont think the polished edges would have stood up to any salt, (not without a lot of elbow grease, and its tooo cold to go in the garage at this time of year ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Quads Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 They look great. I wish I had done mine myself now. Did you use aerosols or 2 pak paint? Is that shine on the lip the same as it was when you got them or is it much duller and need re-doing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that shine on the lip the same as it was when you got them or is it much duller and need re-doing? just used p1ss cans, but gave it a few coats of clear top coat, polished lip was just as the photo when I got them new, but would have to be kept polished if I ran it through the winter with them on as there was no protective finish ,just bare alloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they only 10mm long or something? they are not really a threaded item !! just a plastic allen bolt with a split tapered coarse thread that is a push fit in the shallow holes..
