I’ve tried imgur, but couldn’t get on with it... if you use chrome as a browser, it has a hot link fix for photobucket

Re: Got one at last! Blackberry content inside
Schpock is decent sometimes...!
I’m getting a bit fed up constantly dodging potholes round my way, so I was on the lookout for some cheap, decent looking 18’s to try.... found these about 10 miles from me for £100
No curbing, but lacquer is rubbish. Offset is spot on (45) Audi reps... decent quality though.... I’m thinking a quick blast with plasti dip on the faces... then see what they’re like!

They are very cheap for wheels with tyres on.
Just make sure the tyres has sufficient load rating for your caddy.

Re: Got one at last! Blackberry content inside
They are extra load, but will want changing anyway as I don’t know what they’ve been through!
I’ll put them on first when it stops raining, to see if I like the way they drive.... 225 40 18 tyres on it... would another size be better/more comfortable?
I like how light they feel as they’re not as wide or big as the current wheels.... that should make a difference.

Thanks fella....
I'm waiting for national tyres to open to get the new rubber fitted.....then, I'm waiting for some plastidip to arrive for an experiment!

Re: Got one at last! Blackberry content inside
After getting new tyres on my cheap Audi alloys, I set about making them a bit pretty...
Cleaned and rough lacquer flatted back...
Cleaned a bit more and bits of card stuffed in the lip...
After one coat (from four angles) of ‘Matt-pak full dip’ ...I’m thinking it’s shonky at the minute...
When the first coat had dried.... it’s looking a lot better now!
More updates when I’ve waited the allotted time!

Re: Got one at last! Blackberry content inside
Ha! Thanks guys, they’ll do as a ‘ten footer’ ! I’m just amazed at how plastidip has come on from the 2-3 colours I remember.... this is what they look like with one coat of bronze pearl...
Without flash
And with.... look at the sparkles!!
I need to wait 8 hours now ( my dining room stinks!!) until I can spray the final coat of super gloss.
