pay the £12 membership and there are many guides on this but as long as you follow the basic sand, primer, sand, colour, laquer... as a start with some repeats then you should be fine

 

[:( clios]

its really easy but can take a day for all wheels, sand they down, clean them up, primer and then paint, laquer depending on the finish your after.... thats it. if you have a spare try doing that first.

Obviously if your just respraying you don't need to do the filling part unless you want.
Also regarding times between coats. I did all my wheels in a day, roughly 15 minutes between each coat, then roughly hour/two hours before moving on to the next coat.

Key is in the prep work. You need to sand down your alloys first properly, so the paint will key to them.

Hey thanks for the above pal !!! Il give it a go just looking for some 172 wheels now as mine are only 15inch

I only had the 15" wheels on my non sport. If you lower it you don't notice. Far cheaper tyres too. Resprayed them myself:

Well I was thinking of lowering it with 15s am do you have any problems with any rubbing or ,, How much have you lowered it by pal > I have the same wheels as yours and my clio is black im spraying them gun gray , should look nice ,

Mine was lowered on coilovers. Had to buy spacers to sit the wheels out further coz of the coilovers. Had no real issues with scrubbing:
