Default Rays wheels, back from the bodyshop

As above, just got them back lacquered from the bodyshop. I think they turned out looking fantastic.

They are coloured as close to the original rays gold as possible. Got the correct Rays decals to go on them when properly cured

Flaps of any colour are never a good idea Craig...lol...


Here's a set of rays I sold last year..



Look the same as yours but these were a much darker gold. Uber light too.

They look really good those you must be well chuffed.

Want kind of cost is involved in this type of re-furb?

Lepsons in Gillingham Kent can do these. Prob cost around £300 all in.
Email them a photo for an exact pricing. They do all the Porsche / BMW dealer wheels as well as all and sundry. All they do is wheels their premises are impressive and huge. Have previously done me two sets absolutely peerfect.

Well you learn something new everyday as they say, didn't realize they were an option, must of been an expensive one as you don't see many sets.
These came in from Japan on a STI V2 I had through my hands.
