My 22B.Com Bargain :)
Saw a add on 22B a while back. The bloke was selling a load of stuff off of his Blobeye including " Speedline Anthracite alloy wheels".
Bit of a vague description so I contacted him asking for more details. He replied with a message saying he wasn't sure what model they were but they were 18s with 11 spokes and with pretty good condition Toyo Proxes 4s.
Well to cut a long story short they turned out to be Turinis with barely any marks on them and the tyres have a good 4-5mm tread left across the entire width
But the best part of the story is...........He only wanted £400 for them
They were a bit dirty when I got them. So with some advice from Stu (53WRX) I've spent the last 2 days (on & off) cleaning and detailing them.
Washed with Dodo Juice Supernatual shampoo.
Clayed with Dodo Juice supernatural clay & Born to be Slippy lube
1 coat of Chemical Guys Wet Mirror Finish. Gloss magnifier
2 coats of Chemical Guys Jetseal 109 (second coat left to bake overnight)
1 Coat of Dodo Juice Supernatural wax (again left overnight to cure)
1 Coat of Dodo Juice Red mist.
Think the results are pretty good

Yeah baby ! fookin lovely Boyd, made up for you as I know you have wanted these for ages. FWIW these are fairly new as they are in the later darker anthracite colour and greater paint coverage on the inside. Top job
What are the insides like as I have a variety of friendly products to make the most of what you've got .

Tho for me personally, i am bored to death of seeing Turini's. Having come from a Renault sport Clio back ground, thats all you see people with!
But a good quality wheels is a good quality wheel!!

Just had a look at the insides of mine.............Let's just say they may well stay dirty
If not i'm very much doubting they'd come up looking as good as yours
