Thanks Cliff, that's exactly the size I've got - I've been pretty lucky with help from a member on here I found a set of Rays S202 wheels for £165 in need of a refurb and now these came up at a good price but they do need a refurb badly.
I've every confidence they'll come back looking like new but I hadn't thought about the finish; gloss, satin or matt?

1st scoops holding up well. I was going to try the MLR sprint at silverstone but Im doing something the day before now
, and I will see if it "sags" under heat. Prototype 2 has been made,preped, and should be ready for testing end of March. If that goes well, I will look into getting a batch of 12 made and try a "group buy"..... Pics of the "volks" Ty as you get them refurbed

Here are some pics so far of the refurb, all the wheels are in pretty much identical condition.
Of course it is all my own hard work.
I really don't know where I find the time.

Refurbing wheels is a "labour of love", but it will be worth it when they are finished...I could of helped sand them down too. I was going to be up near you this weekend, but Cardiff police have made life difficult for this weekends "away" supporters..tickets must be collected from Cardiff west services 45 mins before kick-off
and I dont fancy my chances getting to the ground in time..Be a bit mad. You`ll have to just sand them yourself

They look 100% better when seen, the pics really don't do them justice at all. 
I am really pleased with them and with the neochrome wheel nuts they are going to look outstanding.
I just need to source some centre caps at a reasonable price now.

Look into my eyes,
"sell them to me".. not round the eyes, into the eyes,

You never know some of his magic may rub off on Ryan, but then again...
They look like totally different wheels to how I got them, but now the question is Volks stickers back on or not?
