Not telling but had some bad news as the guys reckons that they will need to be sand/shot blasted first. Anyone local on here do sand blasting.

Dave you know anyone?

Well the alloys have been shot blasted and to the best of my knowledge have been sprayed aswell. Unfortunately there is no one at the body shop so i can't pick them up. :cry:

Well here they are in all there resprayed glory. I think they will look mint when they are on and the decals are back on them. They are pretty dark but with a good metallic flake so they change colour in different lights.

What do you reckon???

by **mx5ash** » Sun, 27 Jul 2008 9:31 +0000

Cheers guys.
No there not on yet, gonna leave the paint to fully dry before i get the tyres put back and fit em so the bolt holes dont get marked or the bit where the valve bolts through. also need to put the decals on and give em a good polish to protecet the finish.
As for cost!!! To much!!! lets just say i could have bought a new set of rotas for the total spend including the original purchuse price. But that said they are a rareish masdaspeed alloy and I would be hard pushed to replace them for a set as good as them now.
