Title: Wheels are on the car !!!!!
Post by: NEWEY on November 07, 2009, 12:23:43 pm

Mate, did they put new tyres on as well?

I've the same rims from the A1 (courtesy of Nousticles) and love'em.

Was that pic taken just after fitting but before driving? The car seems awfully high but mine's like that after I've swapped the rims and settles once I go round some corners. HARD!  :evilgrin:

Excellent!

A1 Wolverhampton's work is always A1  :notworthy:

Was it Nigel who did them? It was Greenouse who recommended them to me for mine.

....It seems that I must have made quite an impression!

I wouldn't think twice about going there again, although it's extremely unlikely with my OZ's.

Pretty scary on arrival isn't it! Doesn't look like anywhere where they produce such good quality work : -

I left my ED30 there when it was two weeks old and I didn't sleep for three days!  :surprised:

But they are true to their word and I have subsequently left my R32 with them and would not hesitate to do it again!  :happy2:

Are you willing to share prices ?
I'm in the market for a refurb for my wife's Colt CZT alloys in a darker colour.
Presumably you have the option of leaving the car (at an additional price) or dropping the wheels off ?

Your wheels look really good.
