Ok,

So spent a few hours this morning cleaning my new wheels, and removing all the balance weights along with the sticky black crap. Then I took them to my wheel guy for balancing, back home and several coats of Collinite front and back, and;

They are on...

Loving them, but wondering whether I should refit my 15mm spacers on the front?

Thoughts?

Oh and what pressures are peeps running in non run flats?

Look great! I would space them though Mike.

Did your facelift Xenons fit straight on without an updated LCM?
 
Looking great Mike :thumbsup:

Why did you remove all the weights and re-balance? I only ask as since mine came off an Si I just swapped them straight onto the Zed and they are running fine.
 
Looking good! I concur on the spacers though. Running 33psi front 36 rears on non run flats, others here run slightly different pressures though.

Look really good mike! I'd be tempted to refurb them slightly darker ... maybe ferric grey?

They are actually in great condition, couple little marks and signs of previous kerbing repair on one. My plan is to use them as is and when they need new rubber, get them done in hyper black.

Managed to knock a loose weight off putting them in car. The existing weights were manky and there was sticky stuff from previous weights, so wanted them clean and waxed before they went on.

Nice and clean inside now..

Spacers on the front are a good call :thumbsup:
I'm thinking of doing the same now - no arch rub I assume?

Depending on whether 225 45 or 225 40 you may get away with it cruising down to Sainsbury's but id lay money with 15mm spacers there would be arch rub with the outer shoulder on liner should you ever go on spirited drives :oops:
