Title: ED30 Wheels
Post by: scooba on May 11, 2010, 05:50:54 am: Hi ,does anybody know the correct paint colour for the ed30 wheels, I have just bought a lovely 9,000 mls one lady owner Red ed30 but the two wheels on the kerb side have had some kerb damage,The dealer is having them sorted before collection but if i aint happy does any one have a good place to send them.

Leepsons have been recommended to me before and so has Spit and polish but i havent used either , I have used wheel wizard and wheel works and was quite impressed with the work on m BMW and Mini alloys

Does anyone have one wheel for sale

Does anyone have a super mint set for sale

How about just one Rim so i can have a spare in case of puncture

Any help with my ramblings would be great TIA Scooba

Why do you think my wheels are black! so fed up with trying to colour match a small scrape. :sick:

Post by: Edition30 on May 11, 2010, 12:41:06 pm: Yeah best getting a full refurb to a more matchable colour. Bit of an expensive option but the only way to get the perfect. Caught one of mine the first week I had it :fighting:
