Perfect actually

No idea about how long they will last but for £5 you could just change them every year :D

I feel your pain regarding the kerbed alloy :cry: I had mine refurbished, then 2 weeks later I was doing a favour for a mate and on that journey I hit a kerb and majorly messed a wheel up :headbang:

Nice!

Mine are shadow chrome, so no such luck on the mobile repair :headbang: both wheels on the same side had to be re-done as it's nigh on impossible to colour match shadow chrome. Cost me about £150.

Never doing that mate a favour again :lol:

Sorry to hijack slightly but can I ask who you used as I'm looking for a good refurb place to get my 326's done in shadow chrome to just change the look slightly?

I used a place in Billericay, Essex, called Paint It UK. They don't use any filler, only welding, so you know it's a proper job.

Really happy with how mine turned out. They aren't the cheapest around, but they are one of the best, in my opinion.

Thanks for that, website does look good, will have to pay them a visit, I don't mind paying a bit extra if it means you get a quality job done.

Hi,

Congrats for the wheels, they look very nice!

I was actually on the phone with CM wheels this morning as I might get myself a set...do you mind sharing where you got the tyres And whether they are all Asymmetric 3?

Glad you got the kernel wheel sorted!

Br,
