Looks great on the new wheels dude

Thanks mate waiting till after the meet to take them off then I'm gonna get arches rolled and stretched tyres ready for the summer so I can get more lows

Nice mate looks good.

They look really good on!

NOT a happy bunny 2day!

Washed the car and wheels 2day and this happened....



Perfectly understandable if I was close to the wheel with pressure washer but I was afraid it could happen do I stood miles away and quickly blasted around it and watched the paint flake off!!

Take them back to whoever did them then bud it's a shame but shouldn't happen.

I've sent him this picture and asked if he can sort it.
Had no reply yet, but I know he's working on his car 2day so I'll probably get a reply later.

And no it shouldn't happen!

What do you guys think to these for stretching?

Link doesn't work.

Sorry about the wheels bro, that sucks.

Yeh too right it sucks he's going to sort it after the meet nxt wknd when RX2's go back on

Dunno why the link didn't work :-/

Anyways there Bridgestone Potenza tyres 165/55s
Think they'd be any good for stretch??

That's what iv got mate, there so hard to stretch on though... You need a shop with a co2 tank bead blaster... And even then mine went down lol! But a good tyre non the less, that chip on your wheel looks like an inflation nozzle chip..?????

Thanks Craig I'll look into other tyres or see if my local garage can do the bridgestones as there pretty good anyway.

The paint has flaked off as I washed it mate, i seen it happen it's not from when I got the tyres on and blown up as I was hovering over their shoulder when they done it lol

Well gutted tho looks like its a really thin coat of paint!!

If your going down the stretch route i'd pick 165/50 bridgestone potenza's.

Hats what I'm looking at bud but 165/55s instead of 50s to keep the speedo correct (well near enough)

Mine are 165/50 Bridgestone Potenzas

Just the right stretch I think
