Talking WARNING!! bright wheels inside...

as some people know i own a corsa now, it was only a stop gap but i couldnt help but spend money on it..

i have mint irmsher softstars on it, just been refurbed and powdercoated, and dont want the shite gritted or icy roads wreck them when it starts getting colder, so i invested in some winter wheels..

heres how it looks yesterday morning.

















my winter wheels..














and now..






took me all day to do them, i refurbed them aswell before i sprayed them, took me ages to make my mind up for the colour lmao

just something different for the winter

LMAO!

i would think that the wheel colour on that type of car is a kinda joke.

Are the "mint irmsher softstars" really worth taking off to 'save' for the winter.

Could understand if they were good wheels u wanted to save, but they look just as shite the the yellow ones

Cars not really a stop gap if u plan on keeping it untill the summer

i bought the car as a stop gap untill i started spending my money on it..

the sofstars are quite rare as there 15" 4 stud, and the 15s are usually vectra 5 stud..
plus they have just been refurbed and powdercoated..

for the price these 3 spokes have cost me it would cost for one wheel to be refurbed and powdercoated..

hate to break it to you mate, but softstars are common as fuck, nothing rare about them (even in 4 stud) at all.
