  • Chuffed with how these wheels turned out...

    I realise gloss black is not to everyone's taste...but I'm well chuffed the way they've turned out.

    Under £40 per wheel (shot-blasted, prepped, powder-coated and lacquered). I was going to just get them shot-blasted and then spray myself. But all the mess and material costs wasn't going to be worth it when I could have them properly powder-coated and lacquered.

    What a shame I didn't get a close-up before pic as they were surface wrecked. But not damaged in any way.

    These are to have my road tyres put back on and the steelies will have the soon-to-be off-road ones.

    Nice. Very nice. Was considering this myself but someone bought the Surf.

        I just need to find some 110mm (or thereabouts) center caps that aren't those large push-throughs.

        I like the push-throughs, don't get me wrong, but I'd like some options.

        If I don't find any I'll just buy brand new ones, the same, and have them done gloss black, too. £5 to do and I'd buy new from RoughTrax as the current ones have a few dints.

        Black bolts aren't cheap...but they'll complete the look I'm after.

          I don't like those push through, better with a nice set of Warn hubs fitted IMHO.

            Easy job to fit, 20 mins a side. Last a lifetime if given a wee clean and service after playing in the mud.

              Pfft...not even a fecking link



              Show me the money!

              I like them a lot, btw. It would be great to have hubs that stayed there and suited both sets of wheels.

                The hubs do stay there. Wheel passes over them.

                £150 odds for a set.

                    Yeh, I know...that's why I said it would be great etc etc

                    But no...£100s on hubs isn't an option right now.

                    Worth a thought for the future.

                      ps. Do you have them on all 4 corners?

                      I know they should be for the front only...but you offered them as a solution to all 4 wheels.

                      Do you get matching back ones which are just, well...dummies etc?

                        Nah. Just paint the centres on the back.

                            108mm (and similar) search is pretty much resulting in the ones I already have.

                            Surprised there isn't more options out there.

                            Other than unrelated hubs at £100+

                              They look spot on... what size are they?
                              More Lift.
                              More Tyres.
                              More Engine.
