New shoes have arrived for the derv (many thanks to iggi off here )

Think I'll keep them silver rather than spray them black; similar to the first set I had but has you can see, they need some touching up, would rather do myself than pay, what sort of kit/stuff do I need to make it happen?

Almost forgot to mention what they are: 14x6 ET33 Cups (apologize for phone pics, camera is playing up)

you will probably be needing various grades of paper mate you can get packs in halfords although kam said recently the packs are crap so maybe see what sheets you get in a pack and go buy them from a hardware strore, and alutosol you can get from halfords or similar as for lacquer if you are gon to repolish then you can get also from halfords or similar. good luck with them btw they will be looking good mate

See if my quide helps you at all

I like cups on mk4`s/mk5`s

There pretty deep for only 6" wide! Look good though, should be swanky on the car

Super sexy shoes there dude!

I was tempted by them when he told me, but alas, funds not too great at the mo!!!

Quick update, been attacking (i.e. refurbing) these in earnest past couple of days, first off anyone who's looking to refurb some wheels, walshy's guide (which is posted above) is damn good (followed it myself)

Know what you mean about the nitromoors in action walshy, is well cool

Anyway, sneak peak pic of the one I finished today:

Think I may go back round it with 1200 grit until the paper is smooth then repolish, should be on the derv for UD :-D

currently doing my wheels but very slowly cus i dont have much time on my hands... this looks smart mate!

What are you doing with the 5-spoke Anteras that you bought off me last year mate? If you fancy selling them back (assuming you still have them) we could perhaps have a talk at UD?

Cheers

Thinking I may be keeping those as uber good show wheels Si, becoming a trainee wheel whore :-D

your obviously not else you would have sprayed them black!

Quality john! mint set there buddy! Keep up the hard work

Arf... I wonder what they would look like, polished...? I think I want them back!

Think currie-meister is on about the cups being sprayed black Si, not the other one's!

The cups aren't going black currie, I've done it before
