Spax ones, right. recommended then? I have the choice of AVO's, Weitecs and Spax, in order of cheapest to dearest  Slatered- yeah that would be cool, really wish I had the skills to do that  Whatever you do, don't throw them out- I'll see how I get on with the K10 ones for now, and if the rust starts bothering me I may take you up on that ;D Thanks Mat Right, managed to pop the wheels back on the car today, heres the result:   I must admit I'm really quite chuffed ;D |

I painted mine still on the car, no rubbing down, didnt even take the centre caps or valves off, painted the whole wheel, tyre and nuts matt black, youd never know and it took me a total of 1 minute a wheel ;D  thats in the campus car park, after 2 months of painting, and the car is shockingly filthy |

carl> thats just had a small "clearout" too.......  79> good man! look good too  took me 3 hours  Also, cheers for the stickers info- I have a new "naked" toolbox, a batch of seconds should cover it ;D On the wheels front, I've had a thought- how do folk think it will look with those "chrome rim rings" thingiedoodles on it? I've no idea if any are avaliable to fit those rims, just a thought really.... |

must just add, painting wheels in two-pack acryilic if done correctly is a harder wearing or should i say more anti corrosive finish than powdercoating alot disagree but tis true
