So like everyone i suspect, my OEM wheels have gone around the valve stems. Not to the point of leaking air but it's only a matter of time. Car only has 50k miles on it and is pretty clean, the only thing letting it down is the wheels.
1. I like the shape of the OEM 17s.
2. I don't like cheap replacement wheels enough to want to spend £600 on them
3. Pro Race 1.2 are out of stock over here now and I don't like them enough to fork out the prices being charged for what stock is left.
4. After Market wheels are for the most part, not powder coated.
So it's refurb time.
I don't want black, that's been done to death. Same goes for 'grey' and i don't want some lairy ass colour that i'll be bored of in 2 weeks time. Plus it's not always good to stand out if you like to drive quickly now and again.
Which brings me to
I realise i can't turn the Fiesta into a Lambo but I really like their Imola Bronze wheel - which a local place can do.
The only issue is prices
Standard powder coat colours run me about £280 all in including tyre remove, new valves, TPMS refitted and tyre refit and balance.
Above colour is not a standard one and will run me about £480 all in
Which works out at £120 a wheel all in.
Anyone fancy running their man maths over it and say - JFDI you pu55y
