Howdy, I've also posted these in my scooby update thread but thought I would put a thread up to see what you guys think.

Did a mad thing of buying a brand new set of alloys and because they only came in silver in the correct size for a classic I had them painted, here's the results.

They look fantastic...a good finish by the looks of it. I think you may struggle for traction as they are though. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. Those brakes came up well too!

cheers for the comments guys but im leaving the paint on them to harden i've got the will power somewhere.

As for APS, very friendly guy and the alloy wheels have turned out better than they came to me from the factory. Inside and out has been paint and when I put tyres on you won't be able to tell.

Really really pleased with the finish.
