Just out of interest where did you have them done as you are quite local

Thanks

Hi
I got them done at The Pit stop on Leeds road Huddersfield.
So it sounds like i have split thoughts i think i will lose the tyre painting but wheels will have to stay.

I like the Wheel colour, but as many say the Tyre coloured lettering in my own opinion spoils it. As for the Chrome POwerfolds, I dont think the Chrome sets off well on the Car (sorry) but all in all a nice motor

I love the Gunmetal finish and the green calipers, really sets it off, I even like the painted lettering it reminds me of summer days spent painting my dads Triumph tyres with black tyre paint then painting the letters white with a tiny brush. Have you tried using tyre gloss? it will give the rubber a nice shiny black finish, and to prevent corrosion wax the alloys with a good durable car wax or use a sealant like Autoglym EGP.
