That's a super job on those wheels!

Where did you get them done and how much did it cost?

Well it's got to be a wee bit quicker through the air as it's now so shiny, and clean wheels must be lighter with no mud attached => reduced unsprung mass so maybe just a little bit better handling... Or maybe it is all in the mind !

Hi, who did them, they look fantastic. Do you have pics of them before you had them done? Were they in relatively good condition before?

Rossi - wheels look awesome - had a similar thing done to mine but I had them diamond cut right back behind studs. They really set the whole car off and are IMHO the only wheels that suit the car (pics with what mine came with below for comparison) - just out of interest where did you get the discs and pads from? as that's my next little project

i got the discs and pads from a seller on ebay,iv had ebc and must say this little setup i have now is tons better,must admit they are the only wheels for a sport imo too.
got some pics here of how they looked before but tbh they wernt that bad to start with ,just fancied a freshen up,the cameras i used are 2 different ones,the latest pics of the refurb make the wheels seem dull but i can assure you they are alot brighter and better looking now in the flesh
