Alloy

[shady_brady]

I got a set of alloys free there only standed 13" but better then the rusty steeles i've got on. Anyway what i need to know is does anyone know where I can take them the be restored? I'm in the Yorkshire area but I can travel to get them done. Cheers lads in advance!!!!!!!

Right refurbing alloys is quite expensive, you can get a cash job done for about ?25 if you search about a bit, but is quite a difficult process, so if all 4 need doing thats ?100 and you could buy a secondhand set of 15"s for that :!: Or for ?300 you can buy a brand new 15" wheels and tyre package.

i want a set of 16" bk 82's for my G reg 1.3sr. would they fit straight on or will i have to flair the arches. it has not been lowered yet but it will be soon

they should fit straight on if you have good low profile tyres. but cornering may cause a problem. So if you want them to sit nicely get your shocks stifened, which should reduce rubbing with heavy weight in the car. hope thats helpful to you.

i think the offset on BK's is quite low (36-40) this will cause you problems, go careful when buying bk's as the quality aint always that good.
