I want, I want..........................................Tell me how oh great one!

Just visit your local alloy wheel refurbisher and slap some cash in his face

ive got it easy in that respect,cos ive got the facilities to do it myself,cos i work in a bodyshop.lol:D

Oooh, I don't suppose you are located in the south somewhere and can do stuff on the side?

i live in spalding in lincolnshire,if thats any good,i do some work on the side. by the way where did you get your czech number plates from?

A bit too far 'oop north' for me :(

The plates came from Dubmeister - Where performance meets style! . They don't show them on the website, but you can specify a CZ band on the order form.

Im a personal lover of anthracite wheels

Same bloke has done three sets for me now, everytime I turn up he just says "same again?"..lol

I love the anthricite ones too. Not sure if they'll go on a black magic Octy tho.

I've had anthracite on my (previous) black octy and in hindsight I wouldn't have done it.

Gonna look into it a bit further but defo want something a little different

Black on black is a bit much IMHO, needs to be a bright body colour such as red, yellow or silver.

Also some matching coloured trims look good (bumper inserts, splitters etc).

I like the wheels in your pics Mr Lummox, been thinking about what anthracite wheels would look like on a Race Blue Octy, what do you reckon? Can you get the standard alloys "anthracited" or whatever it is?

Yes, see above

Yes you can get the standard wheels painted.

Err no not really not unless you fancy waiting a fair time...lol.

Tyres are removed, wheels prepped (blasted if needs be, mine usually are), repaired if applicable, primed, painted and laquered. tyres are refitted and balanced.

Usually takes him a week to get the wheels back to me.
