Wheels

[Lunchmoney]

I hate those gold wheels on my car.




So they are now gone





After finding a slow air leak in the front near side I had the tyre looked at only to find the wheel was buckled on the inside (fecking potholes).

This lead to searching around for wheel repair places and settled on Silverwheels near me. They could get me in quite soon and had a 1 day turn around (unlike some others who said it would be 3 days for the same work).

Dropped of the car this morning, collected this evening. Nice.

Added bonus, they found two other wheels had buckles as well but didn't charge for the repair. More nice

And now I get to put these centre and valve caps on (been sitting on my shelf since before Christmas).

They look really nice. I bet you’re driving super cautiously now!

Getting some rim protectors next, in a nice STI pink

Caps now in place. Not sure about the valve caps though.

The new centre caps do match the trim badges nicely, though.

Now you need some new lug nuts

Got the sizes from my guy yesterday.
Pricing up some options Vs caps.

When the wheels were gold I didn't notice the rusty nuts; they really stand out against the black.
