Not sure chroming would be particularly cheap, might even be cheaper to get the actual chrome ones from the US?

would probs be cheaper to mail your wheels to the states.. have them tripple chromed (6 layer if you can afford it) and sent back.. rather than pay twice as much for a pants job in this country that will take months to get done....

I know a lot of companies that although it doesnt always save them massive amounts.. send parts to america to get chromed becuase its better quality and can have a much quicker turnaround.. for example a set of forks, wheels and a few other bits for a bike that were sent monday and back friday!

Looks very nice mate

About floody time too Adrian Look very nice mate, so whats next on your list??

Yeah il have to have a think about it really, cuz if its going to cost a bomb for them to get plated i may aswell just buy the set from the states. Not too sure yet though, might just have a shop about and buy a different set. Il have a think about it, Cheers mate

Nice wheels mole.

The standard chrome ones look pretty good too, though would be better on late spec or TTE 18s!

Thanks for your comments boy & girls

@Wozza, Virginia (Mrs Mole) thinks they look as good as me

@Chris, think it will be a super charger mate

@Steve, do you like your fan washer jets

What tyre sizes are you running ? What wheel sizes/offset are you running ?

Are your the plain Chrome ? Mr Moles have a kind of Dark Chrome effect in different light. Stunning wheels

Lookin good Adrian , I'm absolutely gobsmacked that someone else has a set although I think yours have a different finish , yours are black chrome and i think the other ones are alloy colour with a chrome rim , nice tho . Good to see there are others with such impeccable taste , lol .
Mind those kerbs lads .
Regards
Paul.

Its running on 215/35/19's which are far too thin and i dont think suit the car. They are 19x8 and i think the offset is ET42 but would have to check.

They have like a diamond cut lip and aluminium effect centre which i think look really nice, need to lower it thi....hehe

Ahh, kurbs....... i think i may be too late for that, wish the wheels had a wider profile!!! Damn you boys at Wheelmania!!!

Is chrome alloys safe to use with the salt grid roads (if salted)

Its always a good idea to have your oe wheels for really bad weather conditions and salted roads but if you treat your wheels they should be okay , the ones I had were taken off one at a time , clayed , polished , waxed (with Collinite marque-D-ellegance) and finally done with Bilt & Hamber Auto Balm . I think that should protect them for a while but I'd suggest keeping on top of them , ooeeerr !

Know what your saying mate , I had 213/35-19's on mine and I changed the rears to 225/35-19's and the kerbing lip protected the rim a lot more . To be honest I was initially worried about rubbing on full locks but I'm sure the 225's would be ok all round , its just the expense of it all I'm lucky as I have many friends in the tyre game and got the 225's for £40.00 each .

Nice wheels Adrian, like them a lot, you must be well pleased, and Virginia as well

Yes John I'm well pleased with them
Mrs Mole thinks they look great too
Washed and dried the car today and its put about 1hour on to job
Takes ages to dry them

Have a good holiday mate
