Firstly as it's a 108 thread I’ll say hello to cj10jeeper as he will of course be drawn in by the title! With cars on my mind I decided to do something car-rie (and it wasn't making up that word).
My silver 108’s and tyres have given me much summer fun sliding round roundabouts but they are complete pony in the wet, so alas its time to commission the black 108's and get some winter tyres.
Needing a light refurb on the rim as 20k miles of use last time saw a touch of kerb rash, I set to work. The rim inners are painted black already from the last refurb to stop corrosion and these with the spokes were pretty good still. Last time I had the rim painted; this time I’ve plumbed for raw alloy and lacquer.

the fronts next!
