Maverick 42 Posted September 29 (edited) So, got my tyres mounted. 2 Friday as I only had 2 valves. This guy took care of the wheels. Got 2 tyres fitted Saturday as I had 2 valves posted overnight. Went to another garage. They put 1 valve on correctly and the 2nd one the put it on wrong, chipped the alloy and the sensor has broken of an rolling around inside. Worse thing is, I put 2 wheels on yesterday lowered it etc then went to start on the other side of the car an realised it’s broken so I’m now stuck with the car at 2 heights and 2 different wheels on either side! Fuckin bell ends! Edited October 2 by Maverick 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 42 Posted October 1 Looking in to have a wheel repaired, wish I never bought them. No one can repair it with it having the CNC engraving on the wheel. New Tarmac alloys are engraved then powder coated over to stop this trouble. So, I need to pop back to the garage as they have damaged it more and discuss getting them all powder coated which will be cheaper than supplying 1 new wheel. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 42 Posted October 1 Just popped out to take a quick picture as tbh I’m not keen on the white. I thought it would grow on me but I’m not so sure. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 42 Posted October 2 (edited) I just can’t seem to get to like these wheels! I need to to go lower, I have the clearance to get over speed bumps but it’s just the arches. I might buy adjustable top mounts and control arms see what I can pull it in with. Edited October 2 by Maverick 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maverick 42 Posted October 3 They are growing on me, but not totally set with them. Garage have agreed to get them all powder coated as I can’t get it repaired with the CNC 1552 cut in! Black it grey 😳 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 42 Posted October 3 You know that feeling when you park up an keep looking back at your car?? Well I just can’t seem to look back an be happy with it being white 😳 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 42 Posted October 3 Challenge parts on these look tasty too, think it needs a rear wing and diffuser to make it look a little more aggressive! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 42 Posted October 4 Wheels are going black! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maverick 42 Posted October 4 Wheels are black. Looks 1000% better. But, the place that did them never did the center caps, and the young lad mounting the tyres put standard valves on instead of my TPS Vslves 😳 so they need to go back Monday. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy 22 Posted October 5 Agreed. I think that looks way better. They don’t look as big on the car now in that picture. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
