Fiday,Saturday graft of wheel refurb
Well the other day i swapped my prodrive alloys for some 18" ultralite spec in a shocking state, My mates thought i was daft swapping but i had a vision of the finished product.. Here is a few pics of my few days hard graft from my prodrive alloys to the finnished product...would you have swapped wheels???
prodrive alloys
ultralite alloys in the state i got them..all oxidised and rotten..9hrs sanding down...
finished alloys
next time i'll let someone else refurb them..lol

Look better than they did, but I'm not a big fan of bling wheels: one colour for me.

They look like propper kerb magnets.
Would have looked a lot better in gun metal like mine
Bit too bling for me, but as long as you like it thats all that maters, looks like you made a nice job of them.
