Picked up my wheels from Lepsons today, while they have done a great job on the the wheels i'm not 100% sure about the colour (satin black), the centre cap is black but the wheels seem to have a slight dark blue tint on them in certain light conditions, these are a spare set of wheels so maybe on my main wheels i may go for gloss black or a very dark grey colour

Looking good fella

Picked mine up on Saturday, very impressed with the finish.... I decided against white in the end... I think the anthracite looks better.

Without the center cap..



With the center cap..



Back..



Bolt holes...



On the car - without the center caps (bit of a colour clash)...

Looking great Ross.

One thing though mate. You need to carefully remove the paint from the tapered steel seats that the wheel nuts fasten against. Because there is now paint on there, the nuts wont hold torque properly and will come loose when in use. We had it on MADDOGs car.

Also mask up the hub nuts and just dust them with some black hammerite. Then you can leave the centre caps off and it will still look tidy. I like MOs less centre caps anyway.

We need pics of the whole car now too mate

Thanks chaps

Frayz - good point, I have some new wheel nuts arriving this week so will take some of the paint off when I fit them. Didn't think of that .

Agree they definitely look better without the center caps. Looks much tougher..

Pictures of the whole car soon... I was hoping to clean her up first but haven't had a chance.

Only bad thing is I think my buyer for the Redlines has messed me about. Haven't heard anything from them and have ignored my PM's. Oh well, they will be going back up for sale along with a host of other bits...
