[Dale_V]

[craig]

nice job dude! get some pics of them on the car

[shafster]

im impressed dude, those actually look good

might get you to paint some wheels for me now

[Dale_V]

cheers ladies

shaf lend me a hoe and ill paint your wheels

[michael]

Couldn't you have sprayed some more fake spokes on at the same time?

Not my cup of tea but they might look better on the car, I would have invested the cash spent in some standard 15's or a set of cheap aftermarket ones with at least 5 spokes

Although it looks like a good job has been made of them i'm afraid i've never been a fan of three spokes either They take me back to the days of TSW Venoms....they had to be the worst wheel design ever concieved

Cheers Andy. IMO the Advans are sweet, they suit the car perfectly and make the car handle like poo off a shovel ya should have kept them

[Mark Edwards]

Nice job my friend. Want to do mine next?

[DannyW]

very nice Dale! now i know what to do with mine when they need reburbishing.

[Hurstie1981]

Very nice mate!

Im in the process of doing mine at the moment, only one more to do now
It takes a day at a time, but the new drill attachement has made a world of difference when polishing the rims!
A word of advice though....id laquor the whole wheel when done, it does slightly dull the polishing, but when its left bare, it tarnishes very quickly and is a bu88er to get the brake dut off.

Nice job my friend. Want to do mine next?

haha sure, bring them over

Cheers Danny, they seem a couple of shades darker that Toyotas Zircon blue. more like a Cusco style blue, but they do look good

Hurstie1981 - Yeah it takes along time, i've managed to do 2 today. its all the cleaning and polishing thats a bu88er. The spraying takes like 20 mins

I've only laquered the centers, because I like the deep shine. You're right the brake dust does bake on there. I usually take a brillo pad to them and then polish with Autoglym

[Hurstie1981]

Im only going off experience!

I didnt do it at first, and learned from it. if you laquor it, it blends in the painted part well with the polished part, and the dirt wipes off first time!

[Sat]

looks great dale,

got 16" super advans in need of sum tlc, what products did you use to polish the rims? and have you got ne tips on cleaning these beauties....any do's and dont's??

sorry just one more question......how much do you these wheels are worth??? (not selling em...just very curious)

thanks

sat

I reckon nice plastic hub caps of an austin montego would look the buisness, are they 15" ?

[Rhys-]

Hmmm, not sure on these I'm afraid. May look better if you carried the colour to the outer edge and just left the outer rim silver, makes the wheels look very small in my opinion.

[[KJA]]

They look sweet! but look too small I want a set of advan super 3's for my tubby, I have the AVS 6 rims at the moment. Don't like em

[blueorb]

What about the montego hub caps!

Only joking!
