Have you got used to the looks of them on the D4 and do they look 'normal' to you yet?

Funny you should ask that as on Wednesday MrsDevonchilliman said whilst walking towards the "Tonka Toy" , "look at that Disco over there it's wheels look tiny after yours"...they were 17" and having got used to the look of mine,of which seems normal to me...they did IMO look funny with so much space under the arch Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

Yep phase one ...... over
Phase two .... well that's when you start to think your own wheels start to look skinny under the arches.
But there is a solution ..... stick your original set back on & as soon as it drops off the jack you'll want the stormers straight back on ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧

No desire to rain on devonchilliman's parade, and I don't know anything about the process(es) that Prospeed use, but there's a sobering thread on Pistonheads about powdercoating wheels.
The moral is to make very sure that the provider you use knows what they are doing.

sweet wheels
like what they have done with them - had not really thought about doing this to wheels, but like the effect. I also have a black D3 and those would looks sweet on it. maybe something to consider when I get a few more pennies in the bank.

Prospeed in York did them for me @ £75.00 a corner,yes I know I could get it done cheaper but the finish on these is awesome and worth every penny IMHO Www.devonchilliman.co.uk

£75 is not expensive there's a place over here that does them for £100 a corner and he is always busy, the places that do them for £30-40 a wheel are ok but you pay the bit extra and there's a chance the paint stays on for more than a year.
