They look good mate, need to get some tyre shine on though and keep it topped up as properly black tyres will make it look 10x better

Aye good point Matt, bit awkward maintaining "the look" on a working car but it can have the treatment each weekend

If you get into building it up on the tyres it will start to sink in to the rubber and last throughout the week.

Product suggestion Matt, with anti-fling qualities, and no shine? Preferably something that actually does some good to the tyres rather than just looks OK?
Ffoxy, them wheels are sweet... one thing though... looks like your back end is on stilts!

This is the best stuff. It works by replacing the chemicals in the tyre that have worked out during its lifetime.(or something like that) You control the shine by how much you put on, if you want a little bit of shine you will put on 1 coat and let it dry. If you want more then you repeat it and put more coats on.

Neway looking good

Looking fantastic there Mr Ffoxy
So it was under £250 all in and you're happy with the final results right? Might look into similar once I've got the replacement for my buckled one fitted.

Yes Si, 223 GBP.31p inc v.a.t. Drive in and out same day. You propbably read my original Post so wont harp on but for me it makes the original wheels what they should be! And the centre caps look good too!

Dont wanna lower it its low enough danny
No suspension issues in 43,000 miles so probably the right decision, plus I dont have to fret so much about speed-humps etc. Oh and a BIG well done to TJVickers today, did my rear off-side wheel bearing while I waited under 3rd year warranty.... SO good not to have that whining rumble anymore! 40 mins.
Then the BIGGEST of
from the dealer..."where did you have those wheels done they are amazing!"
They want to use them for their wheel issues lol!

We get a lot of work done there...the results are always wkd tbf, sometimes after a few weeks you can get a bit of staining but if ever that does happen we always just go straight back and they redo them for free...top guys really
