Yeah DIY does seem to be the answer, but doubt I'll really have the time/motivation to do that until the spring now.

I agree they look really good on the lude and my plan was to DIY them and run them. However I got fed up of all the work I did on the car and it was still a dog really so I sold it!

I bought some 200sx wheels to run while i referbed them and thats what stayed on when I sold it.

I guess I'll stick them up on here like they are for offers and if they don't sell have to mess about on ebay

I really don't want to scrap them as they look really good IMO when done.#

Cheers guys

I refurbed mine myself. It took about a day a wheel to get a good job. Worst job was getting all the old paint off. I don't know what they painted them with but it just laughed at Nitromors

Painted them with 100ml of mixed white aluminium mixed with 70ml of gloss black and then lacquered.They are not very clean in the pic below but you can get an idea.

What is the width of these wheels?
225 would be a bit too much for 6.5"

Sex!

Most wheels nowadays arepowdercoated primer to its thick and sticks well followed by waterbased paint and then powdercoated lacquer.

You can get excellent results DIY. Just spend time stripping the wheels and prepping them.

Not sure on the rim diameter, I thought they were 8" all round though?

Tyres on at the moment are 215/45R17
