Any dinks were filled with new alloy & ground flush,corrossion ground out,faces diamond cut & polished,inserts sprayed silver & finished with a clear coat lacquer.
They look brand new,well pleased with the result.

Very nice, really does give the car a lift.
Mine had been done just before I got the car.
I saw the wheels and bought it.

I look forward to seeing a pic of the car when they are fitted.
Those valves are great..

Thx myatt i remember asking you if yours had been done.
Had thought about getting different alloys,but i like these & wanted to keep original.

They are nice Stu.

We (She who makes the decisions and I) both like the standard wheels.
So much so that I\'ve just bought 2 brand new S3 wheels for Gus. Never been on a car.
Here\'s the problem, really I need to get my worst 2 refinished to match them. But will they come back from the finishers a match or not ...don\'t know.
I will plan the tyres to run 2 wheels the same each side....complicated business eh?

Was thinking about Pristine Wheels in Milton Keynes?....bit nearer than Byfleet.

[syebba]

I thought about pristine wheels,but too far from me,think they charge approx £80 a wheel depending on work required.
Get some pics up of ur 2 new wheels,see if their a close match to mine.
The machining process will be the same,but maybe ur new wheels may have faded or the lacquer gone slightly yellow/opaque?
you could stick the new ones on one side & the machined ones on the other,you would,nt notice then,i don\'t think.
You should get 2 of your best wheels on the car machined,it costs extra to get kerbing scuffs & dinks filled with new alloy,also the less corrosion under the lacquer the better & cheaper it\'ll be!
Makes a big difference to the look of the car,in sunlight they dazzle you,like a mirror!

Wheels here in a week. They\'re at a friends in Cheshire who accepted delivery from Shropshire (via Bristol) for me...Dooh. Us old geezers like to get free deliveries even if they do take 3 months.

Yes, thats the plan, 2 that are a match on each side.

Where you parking Stu? Kerbing Dinks!!!!!

My best 3 wheels are virtually unmarked, therefore a shame to refinish them too soon? Good point about the laquer though. \'Costs extra eh\' a very good point indeed.

[syebba]

Kerbing dinks were from previous owners over last 25 years,nowt to do with me.
Has any of the lacquer on your wheels bubbled & white deposits showing underneath?
If so,ur alloys corroding,if not ur lucky!!!
