It is! Just follow Austin's guide and they will come up looking mint. Only do it if the sun is shining though!

Is that so they dry properly or what? Couldn't I just get the heat gun out?
Oooh I see
I read something about Chi sending them Spinksy?Or am I thinking about the completely wrong thing haha?
Yeah, they take ages to dry! Well, I guess you could Would take the piss though!
Chi is delivering both me and tom a set of wheels!
Next thing I need is tyres though, and then spacers but they can wait. Servicing my car tomorrow too. Really need to start my own progress thread, but there's so much progress I don't know where to start

That wasn't a hint btw! There's no rush. I need to get 2 new tyres first
I guess so.
I thought @Spinksy already had some wheels? Has he gone for the same as you or have they just been refurbed?
Quite a few plans then
He's getting some bbs, Chi is picking them up for him, then dropping them off at Tom's, then is going to Lincolnshire to get a quaife diff fitted. Not sure where 9 wheels are going to go in a Clio though
Yep! Too many plans, not enough money
I think I may have left it too late already, done all of this;-Sport interior
-Xenons
-Sprayed grilles
-Seatbelts
-New wheels (to be)
And a load of other things too, might start it on Monday at work
I guess so.

Oooh they look gooooood! Put some pictures up when they're fitted.
Yeah fancy a gunmetal grey colour or something similar. Maybe even the same as my Turini's.

Text me a photo when you've put them on!
It's going to be a squeeze! That's the place where I find the most time to be on CS
I think you should keep the wheels white, I mean white wheels on a inferno is just awesome.

It's about time you got them fitted you had them off me in October lol. They improve the front end so much and driving on unlit roads at night is completely different .

They've been fitted for ages!
That Inferno looks awesome! The Rotas lol nice in white but I think they'll look better a different colour
It's about time you got them fitted
Yeah as Tom said, I've actually had them on for a while but just never have time to update the thread! Thanks again mate
This will look awesome on the rotas! keep them white!!
Quite a few people have said keep them white!
I might stick them on and see if the white grows on me
The plan is to refurb them eventually.Dan...

I can't wait to see the Rota's!
They on yet?
Not yet dude! Fitting them on Friday and going to try and work out how much I need to lower it by
The Clio was looking a bit sorry for itself as it hadn't been washed in about a month or so. It was covered in grime and salt from the road so it was definitely time for a bath!
Here's some photos how bad it was before -
Finally getting some of the colour back -
Ooh shiny! The wheels almost look blue in this photo.
All finished
It feels so much nicer to drive around in a clean car instead of it looking scruffy haha!
Comments welcome

Very Nice!
prefer the turinis myself!

It was now early November and I decided to dig out my old wheels from the 1.6 to use for winter. - I didn't want them getting wrecked as they are in mint condition.
The Renault Storm's were all mouldy and a yellowish colour when I put them on the decking -
Close up -
Even though I was using them as winter wheels, I still had to clean them before putting them on my car!
They came up better than I thought actually They look tiny compared to the Turini's though.
Old vs new -
I just needed to wait for the suspension to settle as the Storm's looked a bit lost in the arches. I also put the carbon centre caps on. (Never got round to it on the 1.6) -
A few days after this, I decided to give the car another wash. It didn't really need it but I had some spare time so I thought why not
I don't think it looks too bad on white wheels. It makes a nice change anyway
Oh, I also fitted 16mm spacers and extended wheel bolts front and back to try and bring the wheels out a bit. They're still tucked inside the arches but it's a lot better than without them!

Looks brilliant. I much prefer the turini's also
Cheers dude! I might have to ditch the Rota's as I'm not sure I wan't to start flaring the arches tbh.
I'd definitely get pulled by the police if I left it as they stick out a good few cm on the rear! :/
Ull sell the Rotas no problem. It does look nice with the Rotas. White wheels are an absolute pig to keep clean. My team dynamics multispokes were a nightmare on my pug GTI
Yeah u dont want unnecessary attention from the bill lol. Its nice to see an inferno that looks great like yours
RB 182
Haven't really liked inferno 182's before but this one looks spot on mate!
looks spot on mate!Got them f**king Rota's on yet?

Yeah I know, we was losing light though. We can meet up sometime this month and get some if you want?
I can add them to my project thread then....
