Being a lazy fecker, i have left these wheels for far to long. Have been running around on them like this for 3 years or more.

Embarrassed to say have visited Zedfest a few times with them in this state.

Often i have i have searched and only found refurb' companies in north Kent.

A friend had these pop up on face book and i have made contact. Sent them some pictures, They are coming today to have a look (and probably a laugh

)

I understand you are probably not up to it at present Sean, but looking at those wheels, they are more than able to be DIY refurbed. It is very simple to do; all you need is a bit of alloy filler, some sandpaper, some paint and a lot of patience. Oh and somewhere to do it!

I always really liked those wheels, not particularly in that condition though

They should be able to sort them in no time and not a bad price .

Just watch out for cracks. Lady at work has those on her Z4, I noticed tyre one was looking a bit soft so she had the RAC out, he took the wheel off and there were three huge cracks, one of which was almost across the whole width of the rim.

Pretty sure they are fine and no cracks. Had all 4 tyre's off not many miles agao for 4 x new Pilot Sport's

How about a darker colour like shadow chrome or graphite

N4LLY · Post by **N4LLY** » Sun Feb 18, 2024 7:11 am

sars,

Have considered many, many time. Do like shadow chrome

However, objective is to smarten up the wheels back to a newsh condition.
Have alway's liked my 326's, so finger's crossed all goes well
