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!

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.

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.

Awesome stuff, that looks mega! 

 

Persevere with the white, I think it looks great 

[Andy 26]

They looks nice Scotty. They look big for the car to me but they are nice.

They do I agree, but the rolling size is pretty much 1% difference to my OEM wheels!

Im a fan ! Cracking shots

[Mr Watton 606]

I think i need a "White Wheel Wednesday" on FB

[Maverick 42]

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.

totally agree. It works for me

[Maverick 42]

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 😳 

[Maverick 42]

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 😳

[Maverick 42]

Challenge parts on these look tasty too, think it needs a rear wing and diffuser to make it look a little more aggressive! 

[Maverick 42]

Wheels are going black! 

[Maverick 42]

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. 

[Maverick 42]

[Andy 26]

Agreed. I think that looks way better.  They don’t look as big on the car now in that picture.
