Great job, but so much easier with proper tools and not this Tesco value stuff - we'll get to Halfrauds with my trade card and get you a decent socket set:thumb:

rickya 05 September 2012 08:15 PM

Funny you say that, I was at work and had to use some of the Tesco special "Ronson" tools.....I kid you not, the pliers plastic handle slipped off and a screw driver snapped in half from the handle!! :freak3: :D

JonMc 05 September 2012 08:26 PM

These don't stop surge. Been there before myself and personally the last thing I want on track is my engine sucking up fresh air when I've got my boot in at 7k rpm.

Ricky,
Good seeing you get your hands dirty! :D I've actually forgot what that's like. :lol1:

Let me guess, 5x100 PCD too:lol1:

rickya 17 December 2012 07:25 PM

Edited on next page: Now going with Mazda 11B paint code

2 are brand new in Bronze, the other 2 were display items, - 1 in black & 1 gunmetal. So will get the two sprayed in bronze Mazda 23F Paint code, which after much www digging seems to be the closest match to the highly secretive paint codes of wheel manufacturers. :idea:

Sorry Jon- I deleted my post as it turns out Ricky cross threaded his picture posting and then corrected it!

I reckon a Pritt stick and some glitter would do the job anyway!

I reckon Ricky would end up with more glitter on the pritt stick than the wheel:D

Mikee 17 December 2012 07:54 PM

I had my std STI wheels done in Hyper Black from Maggy & they looked awesome. But this time as two wheels are already in Bronze I will just have to get the other 2 done.
