    I like the disco wheels. You gunna polish them up? I reckon brushed aluminium finish would look good for those and won't be such a pain to keep shiny in the winter

    I suggest to keep the Bentleys and colormatch them to your interior and paint your rub strips your body color!
    Me and you have very different tastes then. I **** colour coded bump strips and sill covers on passats. They look gash. And so would colour coding the bentleys to my seats. The discovery wheels were dirt cheap and so are the adaptors and i happen to like them. Im bored with the bentleys anyway tbh mate. Wanted something smaller for more low.

    New wheels turned up today. 8j by 18 inch Et57!!







    Discovery wheels. Need to get adaptors made. But only £160 for a custom set of 4. Got the wheels really cheap! But still ned the bentleys gone before I buy tyres and adaptors! These will be acting as winters/new wheels until i get air ride.

    What cha think?

    Thanks guys and yeah the bench grinders make polishing a lot easier but still a lot of sanding involved!. More new wheels should be here tomorrow to satisfy me need for low until i get air ride.

    Do i need this on the bottom of my car? haha

    Anyway, Pictures.


    Fuck I've got to get one of those, hand polishing is killing me

    I like how i was trying to focus on it but the camera decided to focus on the reflection! HAHA
