hey,

ive just got some gti wheels off my mate and was wondering were u can get new outer dish for them as the ones on mine are damaged beyond repair, and what tool to use to get them off? I also need prices as well?

And i was thinking about spraying the wheels? thinking of black centered? but thats becoming to common, so was thinking gun metal grey?

Any help would be appreciated

Regarding colour, I think you're best off sticking with silver but it is personal choice.

Stuff like gunmetal and black centres can look cool, but if you were ever looking to sell them on and would reckon you'd get more for the standard silver.

Have you got any pictures of these wheels?

BJV have an excellent reputation with split rims, a guy of here with a red Polo had his refurbed there IIRC - nickpolo was it?

Says "You are not logged in"

Best thing to do is open the picture, right click, go to properties then copy and paste the picture URL

Just to make things clear, you don't remove the actual lip, but unbolt the centre from the rest of the rim.

Secondly I'd suggest reading this: http://www.tigerstyle.co.uk/poloforum/v ... hp?t=13624
