Bottled it in the end and got them done sparkle silver, its a nice finish, really happy with them considering how kerbed/bent they were! Managed to get them on before it got dark but no decent photos, will try to get some tomorrow. Need some new centre caps then they'll be finished.

Waiting for everyone to say it needs lowered now, its on the list but the wheels and tyres have set me back a bit! RX2's for sale on the forum.

All comments welcome. Cheers guys and girls.

Well, having had the wheels refurbed and the dents taken out of them allegedly, it turns out that a couple of them are buckled. Took them to a place that said they are fixable but I cannot afford to pay for them to be fixed having payed for the refurb and bought tyres, gutted to say the least.

So now am selling the proxies I just bought to try and make some money back but need a decent price otherwise will look for another set of 16's to put them on. Theres a set of rx2's in 4x100 on the forum but not sure if they are still for sale. In the meantime if anyone is interested in a cheap nice looking set of fixable RX's then let me know.

Next problem is that my 15's are getting thin on tread and cant afford tyres for them now, basically having a total nightmare of a time, makes me wonder why I didnt just leave the car the way it was!

Cheers guys and gals.

Having been a bit off the radar with the car recently, saw no point in doing any work to the car with the winter we had up here! Painted the calipers today and had a good post-winter polish of the wheels, looking pretty good all things considered! Decided I will also be keeping the car a bit longer so coilies or at least lowering springs will be going on this summer and some new slotted discs and pads! Car just went through 72000 miles today, still on the original box! All comments welcome, cheers guys.
