Default Me Rims Bruv !
Hi peeps, in the middle of selling my 17" 7 spoke & buying a set of Rondell 122's. The Rondell's have a couple of curb marks that I will be getting done, which brings me to my questions. What colour do you think, Silver, White, or Anthricite ? & does anyone know of a powder coater/wheel refurb co in the South wales area ? Here a piccy of an S1 with Rondell's to get you going ! lol. Any thoughts would be great, cheeRS

The arches are standard on my car, lowered 20mm with Eibach springs & Koni T/a's. The only time they rub is if you are pushing too hard round a corner. Car is just about to have a rebuild so will deal with arches then.

Thanks for the comments mate. Undecided on colour of rims still though ? I like my 7 spokes but my mate has a S1 & has bought the same wheels, so thought it was time for a change ! Hope to get a few more views & have a think about it, lol. cheeRS mate
