Nice job  :happy2:

What colour car are they going on? Get some pics up when you've got them fitted

Bradford mate got them done in Bradford which worked out ok as I was collecting the wheels from Bradford as well.

Drop me a pm if you want the contact

^ LOL.
Though £18 seems very cheap, chuck some wheel cleaner on them and pressure wash, see if they react...

It's ok mate, I have some standard Monza's for winter that usually get some abuse so pointless me refurbing them! Just wondering as my mate got some wheels today he was thinking of refurbing for his T5.2 van. Bradford is some trek for us though.

Are these powdercoated though??

Powder coated , yes

This is the 9th set I have had done over the years at the same place.

The wash well, last well. But if you are expecting a concourse finish then your looking in the wrong place

Here are a few others

3 years after coating

Some others , looked nice after 3. 1/2 years

For that price and Bradford, i bet you have been to Cas Coatings near Ecceshill  :signLOL:

If you have, i have used them for years. Originally they only used to do commercial stuff, railings, gates etc... then if im right the owners son/friend wanted some wheels doing.

My friends garage takes 2-3 sets a week over to him, for the money you cant go wrong. My 18" monza's are going over there shortly, but cant decide on colour, for my silver ED30  :signLOL:
