At last the Le Mans Bently look for my Cerb

At last got my spare set of 16" Oz racing wheels refinised, took them to BJV Engineering in Flaunden (near Hemel). They were recomended by Simon Sparrow and did an excellent job, they charged me 140 quid which included fitting tyres, balacing and valves and some lathte machining as they needee an undercut in the rear face to clear the hubs. Well pleased with the reults.

looks very nice

Ooooh, very nice!

Oh god yet another option to add to my list. Looks very nice and cheaper than new wheels. Loving the ride I get on the 16's and was a bit anxious about going up in size because of this, this could be a simple answer. Any chance of a full car side shot for the full effect

Looks good on a dark coloured car too

I got mine done for free after a track day (splashed though a puddle on the way home so it ruined the overall look)

They're not the standard 16" alloys though, are they? They look sort of "flatter". I was thinking of getting this done too.

They are the standard ones - I really like them.

Here is a side shot, next job pick out the AP Racing lettering in yellow on the callipers, any suggestions what kind of paint would be suitable, needs to be something that would contrast well on the black background and be fairly temperature resistant, hammerite?

Halfrauds sell Caliper paint, I've used it to do mine in blue. No problems with heat etc and apart from the coating of brake dust at the moment they look pretty good.
Not sure if they do yellow though.

Looks good, I used Hammerite smooth yellow, it's stood up to the heat fine.

Thanks for the complements guys, will be off down to Haulfrauds next opportunity I get for some yellow hammerite. Suppose I could change the indicator side markers to white while I'm at it, though not convinced it makes that much difference to the look of the car.

And just to finish this thread off black wheels with yellow lettering on the calipers to complete the racer look.
