Really pleased with the overall finish of the wheels, i thought i had boobed with the centre caps but its turned out brilliant. I think that's me finally happy with how the car looks. Now just to keep it clean and get ready for the summer hols in August.

Problem solved, i just attached them straight to the wheel. So easy and looks good. Photo to follow now they are finished. MOT passed also with no advisorys

The centre cap transfers arrived yesterday. Only problem is they are a solid disc, with the centre caps having a dome on them it doesn't sit flush. I thought they were just a transfer and not solid. Anyway now i'm looking at trying to flatten the caps so the discs sit flush. Or does anybody have any other ideas before i go and start messing around with the centre caps (and probably ruin them). i will add a pick of how 1 looks at the minute. heres a pic pic 2 I was hoping to have the wheels finished today, now i'm thinking rubbing down the caps or glueing the edges down. Ah well any thoughts folks.

Cheers Mick, they had the job done on time and great to deal with. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Now waiting on centre cap transfers arriving from China, i really like the pen art style of centre cap decal, but they seem to be non existent to buy. I went for the Toyota emblem in silver we'll see what there like when they arrive.

After Before I'm really pleased with the wheels now, also i would use Glentayan Alloys again, really friendly and at £168 for four wheels a bargain. That's just a powdercoat finish, to be coated and painted i think it was 220 or 240 i preferred the powdercoat finish

The best up grade i think. Looking good, what's your thoughts on the braking now?

look them up on Facebook Mick, i will post before and after pics and give a wee review on Friday evening when i get the car back.

I will drop the car off on Thursday and pick it back up on Friday. I have read some good reviews so it's going to "glentyan alloys". I'm hoping they can show me some examples of there work so i can choose a suitable silver finish. When i bought the car it had black/gun metal grey wolfrace alloys, i had them straight off and bought 6 spoke toyota alloys from Aims, now nearly a year later its time to get them refurbed properly.

Ok I ain't got the patience there getting done properly Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I got a quote from glentyan alloys for all 4 wheels 168. There based in linwood Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

I went with audi silver, but trying my spare. I think I will go with powder coating depending on how the spare turns out. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Thank you

I used laquer the last time m8, it was quite a good finish but could have been better preped. But the alloy colour wheel paint just seems a bit grey. I thought i read somewhere that an Audi silver or something similar was a good choice for a truer silver finish. I cant find it again though, anyway cheers for the reply. Any suggestions folks?

Hi: I recently had a go at painting my wheels. I was pleased with them initially but now i think they look more grey and i quiet fancy having more of a silver shine. Does anybody have any ideas around which silver spray paint to buy that gives a proper silver finish? Probably going to Halfors later so any suggestions are really welcome. Hoping to start the process again tomorrow, properly this time as i never used primer previously and it was a bit of a rushed first attempt. Cheers

Not in the post, picked up local. Anyway i have a road trip coming up to Lake Garda so should be just the job. Bargain i think too. http://www.halfords.com/technology/sat-nav/car-sat-nav/ex-dispaly-garmin-nuvi-2589lm-5-sat-nav-with-uk-ireland-full-europe-lifetime-maps-traffic-updates
