Yeah, haha, I had them completely split in about 30-45 mins last night, then spent the rest of the evening polishing.

It's all about the technique Ben, I soaked them in wd40 an hour previous, then used an 8mm socket on the bolts and buzzed the nuts of with my impact gun.

Haven't decided yet... There's a set the same spec on e38 for £2500 at the minute... I'm tempted to get bigger dishes tbh and I might even just keep them as show wheels.

They're just a really nice, rare set of rims, so of course they're gonna be pricey, they're pricey in the more common 15' variety.

Barrels were blasted yesterday and have came up amazing, they've been sent off to another friend for powder coating, waiting on getting the centres back from the special place :p meanwhile i've been polishing centre nuts, dishes and bolts. We should see these babies refurbished and up to show standard by Wednesday.

loving this thread/car more and more each update :p

Found a BMW M3 CSL I'm after, so if anyone has some cash laying around, I may be tempted to sell the polo.
