Default wheels back from powdercoaters

Ok, a wee bit of a story, i have 2 cars, a focus and a punto. The punto i gave to my fiancee, who split up with me 4 weeks ago, so i got it back!

Took the wheels off the punto a few weeks back as i had bought abarth multispokes for it, and put the 17s off it onto my focus.

They are Kei Racing Force 8's with 205/40/17 tyres. Will change the tyres to 45 profilers when they wear out as i needed 40s to fit them on the punto.

They had a few kerb marks so sent them off to be powdercoated anthracite.

The guy has done a cracking job.

Got them back yesterday and put them on the car.......
Its the first time ive really driven the car properly in the last 4/5 weeks as my heart wasnt in it, or the punto for that matter.

The battery was flat when i took it out the garage.










Ill be putting the edge alloys back on in the winter
