Just Had my Rims Refurbed - Do You Like?

[Royston]

Just had my 6J x 14" Revolution RFX's done by Romax in Stockton.:)

Anthracite with a machined rim

Really pleased with the results, will eventually be on my '85 1.3SR;)

I paid ?120 for the rims, straight but had been stripped off and badly paintedlol

Refurb ?35 to paint, ?5 to skin the outer rim, so ?40 per rim inc vat so ?160

I think it's not too bad, just need to buy some new rubber now:roll: more expense

[krobinson]

They look awesome, good work :D

[FUSION X16XE]

very nice and thats a pretty good price, were looking for some of them for a mini project.

[Iain]

Well worth the money IMO! They look great.

[John]

That is very reasonable indeed for the refurb! What tyres are you thinking of using? Can't be that bad in 14" fitment?

[Steve]

Love the contrast between the spoke and the rim, any updates with the sr royston?

Thanks for asking

Obviously my project listing went amiss with the demise of PVG and was too lazy to repost

She is nearing completion and will be at PVS, waiting for confirmation where she'll be (somewhere special possibly;) )although I unfortunately can't be there.

Interior is all installed apart from the front seats

engine/gearbox is in, refurbing Sport Carb set up as we speak, will be fired up once carbs are fitted, will fit the Irmscher Injection a little later

Also have a set of std SR rims I am currently painting for the "sleeper"/std look:D

Heres a few pics

Currently on target, it will be finished Just gone 10 years since she was on the road:eek:

Good stuff, I wondered what happened to it. So you'll be running two 1.3 t40'd novas then? Sweet!

For the moment, plan is to put the SR on the Injection later, I also might have another confession to make soonlol but you'll have to wait:p

[novacabrio]

[McFall1984]

pity you dont have pics of before an after, always good to look back on wat they looked like an wat there like now,
deadly what difference a refurb does
looks well tho

[dannyb]

I am a big fan of the Revolutions and started to look for a set for my 108x4 PCD Audi 80 as my alloys are looking ropey (they're supposed to have a polished lip)... Then I thought I might be able to do something similar to what you've done to your wheels with the factory Ronals which are on the car at the moment:

I know its not a Nova, but can anyone do a photoshop with the centres of these wheels in gunmetal with a polished lip please?
