Yeah, paint them silver! Laugh my a**e off!

Only joking. Sorry I didn't reply to your text. I was in meetings at work all day. Are your wheels metallic black like Stew's or are they just matt black?

Flippin' 'eck. I haven't been called Stoney since my school days back in the 80s...

Anyhow, serious answer to your question... I would be tempted to put some copper grease around the centre where the wheel meets the centre of the hub. Just a little smeared on will make them easier to get off if you have to change a wheel roadside due to a puncture or whatever. Did it with mine. Only thing is Clifton-Lane did the wheelnuts up a tad too tight and I had to get them to release them a bit and not use the compressed air rachet to do them up again!!!!

I have one wheel on and it looks 'mint' lol

One problemo - we can't get the cap things off on the other 3 wheels. The spannery thing has chewed them up. Looks like I need a new set!! Embarassed

How can I get the rest of them off?

**Rich** 16/5/2008, 7:49 am

Hope you don't mind me editing the links. Wanted to be able to see them on here! Big eyes!

Excellent wheels. Just need to thrash the car a bit so the rainbows disappear from the tyres! Laughing

Rich.

**M77XNE** 16/5/2008, 7:55 am

The 'rainbows' should be gone by sunday. Not too sure what to do with the suspension. Might get it lowered, however I am getting a trophy splitter and won't be able to get onto my drive if I drop it. There is also lots of 'humps' around here and it sometime scrapes on one or 2 of them if I have a passenger Sad

Max, the alloys look real good, have you noticed if the ride feel a little firmer?

**M77XNE** 16/5/2008, 11:25 pm
