track slag with new shoes!

[karaokebykris]

Been running my trag slag on the 'orrible 14" bbs rims that it came on till one of the tyres died. So went and got some new (secondhand) rims for it rather than put the spare on as they looked a bit crap to be honest.

Came to me like this last night...



A little touch of sandpaper....



Adequate coating of primer......



Just a touch of lovely black paint...



and fit.....





not a bad couple of hours work even if i do say so myself!

they are 7x15" shod in yoko A539 all round. Look like Mim 1900's but are in fact made by RH.

Shed load easier to do than the Fondmetal lattice ones I have on the other E30!

Thats now both my cars with rare wheels!

nice work

[munky30]

loving the playing card masking off!

Looks good.

[shazE30]

looks good mate

[whipsey]

i've got a spare one of these

[karaokebykris]

Masking off with playing cards round the rim saves loads of time over masking tape! Cheap too, got 3 packs of cards for a quid.

The question now is.....

as the paintwork is not the best (laquer peeling, front valance needs replacing, tech2 spoiler need to come off etc)

Should i "do a munky" and join the dark side?

bodywise it is solid, no real rot just a bit untidy on the finish

[oakey]

keep the colour mate. I like it as is. Perhaps black indicators?

[karaokebykris]

did have black indicators and repeaters on it but i removed them to stick on my daily to go with the black and white theme...

Definately time for a pikey respray.

What other matt colours could you use?

[karaokebykris]

flourescent (sp) paint?????

[oakey]

I dont think you could get away with anything other than very dark colours in matt. Like a Vdark blue or grey?

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Asbo flourescent yellow!! Like the MK1 Mondeo

[slinky2000]

please dont respray it a differenct colour.

but if you have to go for a matt grey, like a primer colour.

There was an e30 on maxbimmer ages ago painted in primer, looked quite bad i thought. Will try find the pics.
