Looks like a very good job.

lol @ the paint bake system!

[7ova]

looks alot better mate, should you have been working?

[Bubba]

nah, stayed on after work (for the 3rd night in a row) its like having my own workshop...just bigger with all the tea i can drink and heavy lifting equiptment :d

[MK999]

That's a point, I meant to ask if we can get 17's in the lathe lol

[Bubba]

why on earth would you need to that? unless you wanted to machine off to drop the offset

[MK999]

Pikey polishing and I don't have a car that they fit atm lol

[Bubba]

i was debating making some sort of multifit hub spinny device for such problems.

bmw is 4stud, those wheels are 5 stud...you plan is flawed lol

ive got wheels that are 4 x 100, 4 x 108 and 5 x 114.3...some epic multijob hub attached to an angle grinder would do the job lol

[Bubba]

gave them another few coats today...then g3'd the lip. the finish is awesome. tbh the overall finish isnt perfect. theres a few tiny imperfections. and i ran out of satin so this is what im left with atm

[MK999]

[Bubba]

Not bad but not groundbreaking. Should have picked up the BBS RX458's we had in at work the other day, I nearly smashed myself in the nose when I went to pick one up and it had a tyre on it lol

[Bubba]

ohh, was told they were lightweight wheels, ho hum...only paid £100 for them so can make monies on them

[MK999]

They're not too bad, standard Rays TE37 in similar size are about 7kg, magnesium TE37's in mag are 7kilo in 18x9 kinda size. And actually the BBS RX I picked up the other day are 9kg apparently... so after looking actually they're pretty light for 17's lol

[Bubba]

advanti model S123...cant find nothing about them.

[MK999]

Same here, probably fakes made out of cheese lol

[Bubba]

not at the price my mate paid...along with the advanti box's etc. lol i know another company did a cheap copy of these as he gave the centrecaps to him for this. git

[brainsnova]

Set of decks for sanding 2 alloys at once :cool: mix it up lol

[Nova_Tek]

Very nice job mate :thumb:

[Bubba]

got they them wheels all finished today :d

no idea what they are worth since i cant find anything about them lol so im guna ling them on ebay with a nice round price

but im quite chuffed with the outcome. Satin black, polished.
