As per bronze finishes on this thread: https://www.scoobynet.com/members-ga...nze-paint.html so had them powder coated in primer then wet painted in Fiat 750F Marrone Vulcanico bronze as in the thread with a satin powder coat finish, all this for £200!
finished wheels collected from Pentland Powder Coaters fitted with Nokian winter tyres ready for another mild damp winter...

How much you after for the other set dude?
|
love this colour, I wanted to do the same with mine but they didn't have that colour in the powder.
|
This is the exact colour I'm planning to do my bbs. Bang on perfect IMO.
I'm not into the gold on a Subaru, I like a bit of tint as I had ce28s before and loved the car colour combo. Need pics on car |

Although mine aren't far off that condition. The going rate seems to be around the £600 mark, but haven't seen a set that hasn't needed a refurb or already been refurbed. Will be getting them out of storage soon and giving them a thorough clean and polish so will get some pics done then.

They look superb. Look forward to seeing them on the car.

Agreed, once you've gone bronze there's no going back:luvlove:

Cheers buddy:thumb:
Is that your cool grey Type-R with bronze photoshop? Your BBS are as new so you'd get away with just wet painting them Yes ill be getting them painted, don't do powder coating |
A sneak preview, gives a good idea of colour combo:
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...9835f7ccfc.jpg Next up is what colour nuts to go for, think black looks the best with bronze and will match the centre caps as well |
:thumb: black nuts will go well
|
Looks great that on yours, agree black is best, forget the shout out colours lol, I had neo chrome prior and I should slap myself for buying them.
I have a proper side shot of my car now and tbh I'm quite liking the stock colour, so no rush for the bronze for now :) |

BTW, the tyre fitter noted how thick the rims are on these wheels and they actually stand out from the tyres as if they are stretched, even though they are the correct 225 width, so would recommend a 235 width tyre with good rim protection. Might have to go for some of those ridiculous alloy gaters as I'm guaranteed to kerb them first time out! |
Yeah, it's pointless stripping the new tyres I've just had put on, just to paint wheels (should of done em before).
I'll await till tyres are shot now tbh. My tyres seem OK in rim protection, no stretched look at all, suppose it's down to tyre brand, the AD08 are quite chunky anyway and mine are 215s |
Another vote for black nuts from me.
Those wheels look great, really good colour combination. |

The temperature has dropped drastically so time to get these wheels fitted!
Attachment 29041 Ordered a set of TPi XR steel wheel nuts in black, have these in chrome as well and they're top quality nuts Attachment 29042 Wheels on Attachment 29043 Attachment 29044 Attachment 29045 Attachment 29046 Attachment 29047 Attachment 29048 Tyres are a set of used but virtually brand new winters, Nokian WR G2 all weather plus, but turned out to be run flats so the ride is a little firmer than the standard Nokian winters on the WRX 17s I used last year. Attachment 29049 |
:cool::thumb:
Maybe one day I'll have a set of these for mine if I'm lucky enough.. |
Looks cool. Fit a set of ad08r and I'll do you a swap :)
|
Thanks lads. Now I'm happy with this set it's time to get the other set polished-up and sold off to reduce my wheel count lol, make a nice xmax present for someone!

How much are you looking mate as is for the wheels ?
Nice job on the other ones ! |
going rate for these is around £600 and these are in amazing original condition, even the steel lug inserts are corrosion free so can't have spent much time on UK roads.
