Looking good John......it's like having a new set of alloys but at a fraction of the cost. :D
Nice one.

John - did you go for any coatings for your white wheels?

Was this a powder coating or paint?

Interesting, my OZ logos have done the same as on your orig wheels, did Mook provide the new ones??

Was thinking of getting Mysh to do mine when I decide what 2 tone colour I want :roll: :roll: Did he supply you with a set of spare wheels or was the car off the road for a week??

Thanks for the replies guys. Mysh stripped and powdercoated all 4 wheels and he can source the transfers including the small oz racing ones on the rim. It is unfortunate that the transfers have to go on top of the laquer as if they are put on and laquered they shrink which means that you cant realy jet wash the wheels, I didn't do that anyway. I didn't have a spare set of wheels so I had her on stands for a fortnight which was no major problem. The finished product was well worth the wait though as Steven says it's like having brand new rims at a fraction of the cost.
8)
Cheers
John

I had my wheels powder coated for £29 per rim by this company:

http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk/

They even collected and dropped the wheels back free of charge as I work within a 50 mile radius of them. Done a cracking job and quick turn around.

Goodyear Eagles are nice tyres :) Give a much nicer ride than the Toyo Proxie T1R's I am using now. Although the toyo's grip better in the wet and cold.

Cheers,

Tone
