I've found a set of those wheels but they're in dire need of a refurb, might get them and have a go myself :)

They look great. Mine are in such a state, will get them refurbed at some point.

How much is yours lowered by?

they look superb, bet your arms ache though from holding the wheels against the bench polisher! how many hours did it take you from start to finish?

yep it would, but i done it myself so cost me about £30 for materials, bargan!!

I really wish I didnt look at this...cause I really want those wheels!! Good job there mate, brill out come.

Any chance you can do mine for me mine are a right state :(

How much do these wheels seel for in a condition like yours now ?

I can pick some up for what i believe would be a acceptable price .

With a bit of a refurb by myself similar to yours i maywell be able to make a bob or two .

Can you buy new bolts or do you have to get them coated ?
