Default Finished refurbed wheels for my sport

Hours of arm ache and sanding priming and polishing in my garage whilst choking on paint fumes, but think the end result was worth it.
Just need to find some nice rubber now and have some light weight blue nuts to set them off.

just aerosols and a butt load of elbow grease i find the best aerosols are from wilkinsons no point paying big money when a £5 tin does a better job, and then just some etech high gloss wheel lacquer for £10 a tin (the bay of e)
BARGAIN
