Nice what tyres are going on?
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

The Veemanns are 8.5j & 9.5j which is half inch wider than the factory 326 wheels, I’ve got 235/35/19F and 265/30/19R tyres going on.
The powder coating place was in an old farm building round the back of beyond, well worth finding though as he refinished the wheels for £200 :o

Was that for just coating or any refurb done. Seems remarkably cheap for such a good looking result

How do you mean? That was for all 4 wheels to be stripped/blasted & coated in a colour of my choice :thumbsup:

To be fair they were still in pretty good condition, the clear lacquer was just showing signs of weathering - i attempted to dress this up a little & that’s when it all went wrong :oops:

Am a bit disappointed, only two pics of fab rims

I look forward to when you’ll remedy that once you’re all rubbered up

Nice wheels, looking forward to seeing them on the car. :thumbsup:
