Well guys, i have just finished spraying my wheels matt black 
These are standard 14in rims, they are looking cooooool man, however i got through 8 cans of 500ml paint 
. i had the wheels blasted locally and they seen to have put a very light zinc coating on, and i have primed and top coated. i seem to have cocked up a little on me sums though (back to school for me i thinks) 4 wheels blasted £48 plus vat.which is what i went for.... 4 wheels blasted sprayed matt black Quoted £45 plus vat. Now i have just paid the 48 plus the vat plus £7.48 per can of Halfords paint. now although i enjoyed spraying the wheels is my paint gonna hold on as well as the blasters would do.....
Now for the tyres do i go for standard or is there a lower profile that will make the van look even cooler. She is running standard height at mo but is going to be lowererd 50mm in the near future..
Cheers Onkers
