Hey,
I bought a second set of SD1 style wheels as came on my P6 the other week and finally got round to painting them and getting them fitted. I'm pretty happy with the results although the sanding/prep isn't quite as good as I'd like so i'll likely strip them back again at some point in the future and re-do. I wanted to keep the textured finish so didn't go too nuts on sanding them back. Considering the rest of the exterior is cosmetically still very much a work in progress I'm happy with the results.
The tyres on the old set had also seen better days so they have all been replaced with new 195/70/14s branded as Austyre which are apparently made by Dunlop.
To finish them off i bought new centre badges and gave the chrome caps a good clean.
Here's the results of before and after:
What do you think?
Cheers,
Al
