Had my wheels done in black

[jamiep]

Well happy with the look now

[BigNige]

Yup, looks good

Very nice, time for the Wortec stripe next Jamie.
How long did the wheels take to do?
I keep thinking of getting mine done, but would mean the car off the road and it is my daily drive.

[jamiep]

I had the front end resprayed and the wheels done at the same time, (dropped it off monday and just picked it up) picked up a load of stone chips at Marham, i have the wortec strips in the garage but im thinking of getting them done in red to match my AP's or maybe spray the AP's orange, not made my mind up yet

They look really good. I think I might have to get mine done now!

[Toprivetgun]

Love the look of it mate, im sure people will be even more puzzled at what it is. So suttle without the Vauxhall badge on the Bonnet. Whereabouts did you get your bumper sprayed? And how much if you dont mindme asking? Ta

Looks good... rears need to be wider though

[JamesK]

Wow that looks awesome!

[jamiep]

Had it sprayed at Motofix in high wycombe, they have done a lot of work for me in the past and its always been top class, he did me a deal i was very happy with, £1000 all in for bonnet/wings/bumper/wing mirrors and wheels and turned it around in 4 days

The wheels look absolutely fantastic. Can you let me have the contact details for the people that did them. I agree the bonnet looks great without the Vauxhall badge but I went one better and rebadget the car back to the GTO.

Also you may want to consider offsetting the black by replacing the black valance mesh with stainless steel. Mine had started to rust anyway but I hit some debris at speed on the M3 which damaged one and so I replaced the whole set. I am now waiting for the bonnet set to come from the states.

Im pretty happy with it for now but if i was to go wider id have my original wheels turned into splitrims keeping 19" and go with the overfender kit Harry has if i could find one

[S600VXR]

Be aware that Coupe 4 over fender kit is rather expensive. How do you turn into split rims...? Heard of cutting wheels in half and welding in a spacer but dont fancy that much!

[jamiep]

Yea ive looked into it already regards the kit and yes very pricey, doubt ill go with it unless i get bored, http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/ are good for split rims.

[Tempy]

That looks lovely Jamie. I've seriously gotta invest in a set of 19 VXR spokies for my CV8. Soooo much nicer.

[jamiep]

They are so hard to find, im after a couple of spares that i can take on track days with me.

[Ferb]

Looks great AP's in orange would look good
My old wheels are only 17inch, same size as in BTCC and only £100 a set for used slicks

[stigmundfreud]

Nice! I bought a spare set of alloys to be painted black

what was the cost you paid? I've been quoted 85 quid a wheel for powdercoating

[jamiep]

he did the wheels for £200 cash. http://www.motofix-arc.co.uk/printable_highwycombe...
