Great job, but so much easier with proper tools and not this Tesco value stuff - we'll get to Halfrauds with my trade card and get you a decent socket set

These don't stop surge. Been there before myself and personally the last thing I want on track is my engine sucking up fresh air when I've got my boot in at 7k rpm.

Ricky,
Good seeing you get your hands dirty! I've actually forgot what that's like.

Edited on next page: Now going with Mazda 11B paint code

2 are brand new in Bronze, the other 2 were display items, - 1 in black & 1 gunmetal. So will get the two sprayed in bronze Mazda 23F Paint code, which after much www digging seems to be the closest match to the highly secretive paint codes of wheel manufacturers.

Sorry Jon- I deleted my post as it turns out Ricky cross threaded his picture posting and then corrected it!

I reckon a Pritt stick and some glitter would do the job anyway!

Nice pic Jura

I had my std STI wheels done in Hyper Black from Maggy & they looked awesome. But this time as two wheels are already in Bronze I will just have to get the other 2 done.
