my wifes car had the wheel specialist do her 17"s on the Focus, anthracite


from this...


to this...

 

Don't say I didn't warn you about any of this, although you have to get this **** out of your system one way or another!


Good luck with the build mate...... look forward in seeing it progress.

 

Thanks Salsa I went for Anthracite and I am also using the wheel specialist 5 alloys powder coated for £383.

Shaun it's crazy, but I used to think people who pissed about with special editions were idiots……now I find myself in that group haha. It's an itch that needs to be scratched and I plan on keeping the car for a few more years. It is the best Impreza I have ever had and you know I've had a few!

 

Update with pics

 

 

Bbs a popular vag and BMW m3 and the like rim.

 

I'd of used them for my Orange wheel sbut they want well over £300 for four 17" with tyre removal and balance etc

ended up going to a nearer alloy refurb place.. £240 incVAT for the same job... albiet I had them fitted 48 hrs after dropping off, whereas TWS are same day turn around, which wasn't essential

When I had my wife's done (in the pic) I only paid £235. TWS seem to have gone up loads in the last few years.


All a good job though

 

All 5 wheels done and they look great! Pics don't do them justice will get them on the car next week when I get time.

Spare wheel



Wrapped in T888

 

Out of interest Immy, did they powdercoat the wheel to hub mating face??

 

I think they do.

 

£383 for 5 wheels? i think you paid too much
see below links for my results (£200 4 wheels 18")

Cant remember to be honest, will check when I go back to fit them. Pretty sure they don't.
That's a bargain…were they powder coated?

 

yes mate

click on the guys facebook hes a local hero when it comes to car detailing (done some big £££ motors)

real nice genuine guy also

 

Wish I knew earlier as I was planning on getting the car detailed before the wheels go on and was considering a white wrap.

 

cant wait for him to do mine when advans fitted etc (summertime)

 

Nice

 

be better if you sold me an sc42 twin scroll lol

 

there's only one place you need to go for that then.... (full wrap is about £1200-1500, cheaper than a re spray lol)

Paul did the GTR on the F&F6... along with a load of other GTR's.. just have a look at what they do. He did my wra roof and TedEd's detail on his classic too

 

I may sell the SC42, but mine is twin scroll isn't your car UK Lucko?


Is it worth me getting a detail before the wrap?

 

speak with Paul to advise, I know when he did my roof he prep'd it for wrapping, I'd of thought they'd make sure your car was clean before they did the job.


I can't recommend them enough. have you looked how they wrap a car??

they've moved to a bigger unit now though :P

 

no i have jdm hawkeye (bodski's old car)

 

Agh ok well fi your after the SC42 I'll let you know when I take it off.

 

hero

 

The only thing I was missing for the 997 turbo wrap was some glow sticks!

May give them a shout and get some figures.

 

Those wheels look great you need to sell them to me
Ohlins look great also

 

Cheers Nic if I decide to sell will give you the heads up.

 

this is my friend's car (TedEd on Sn)

I might be selling the wheels Nic.....tried to fit them today and the STI nuts I have don't fit the BBS. So it's a toss up of selling or buying some more STI nuts for BBS alloys.

 

Looking good immy

 

Hahaha typical mate, I've just purchased some new wheels.
What STI nuts do you have?
