is this possible??

[JD]

right i had an idea the other day, did a photoshop quickly and seemed to get a good response as well.

i love it, but the question is, can it be done without doing damage to the wheels and making them unsafe?

before;

after;

thoughts, opinions welcome, and also could some kind sole tell me if it will weaken the wheels or not?

and of course i price

206 looks better






only messing

 

[Josh@Renparts]

nah it will be fine.. have you seen how thin some aftermarket ones are......... will be easy to do just go mental with the angle grinder.. and skim some filler when your done..

 

[Middo]

hmmm spose you could grind the ridge off, not sure whether it would be worth it though really, best getting the 16 inch megane wheels like russ had on his clio which are pretty much a smooth version of the 172 wheels

 

[JD]

lol giles your bonnet is heavier than mine

you think josh mate? can i get it done at a wheel refurbers?

jamie

 

[JD]

p.s PM about the bits mate

jamie

 

[Chrisjk]

yeh it shouldbe fine, but make sure u really want to do it, if u decide u dont like em in the metal.......

 

[JD]

gonna buy a knackered set chris, thanks for the thought chris

 

[Middo]

extra spoke on reflection, still a cool wheel though!

 

[jjoe90]

[JD]

yeah i know what you mean joe, i love my dads audi alloys, 5 spoke, flat, plain simple.

jamie

 

[Ali]

It could be done. but the whole face would need to be polished!

 

[JR]

The refurb on them would be interesting, would be a bit of a mare i would have thought.

 

[JD]

yeah thats what i though ali, kudos on the new car ali mate

yeah, well i may have got someone to do it for me, that fancies a mess about thanks josh

jamie

 

[JD]

only scuffed my front passenger lots really gutted al rest are mint

ahh well back to subject

 

[len_beach]

I prefer your photoshop Jamie rather than the above. Take the bulk of the material away but leave enough so that you can build a curve into the face. The fully smootheed version above just looks too flat and plain.

 

[JD]

yeah thats what i would do lad

still havent seen the silver bullet!

 

[len_beach]

It's at Pauls on Friday for the cambelt and aux' belt changing. She'll be dirty though no doubt.

 

[Christopher]

they would look amazing imo, ever better polished!

 

[JD]

jamie

9 bells. You can give the old girl a run over if you fancy. She needs it.

 

[JD]

hmm, how easy to polish?

could give her a once over with the gravelled sponge i guess

 

[len_beach]

Not sure what she'll need to be honest. Could do with a good cut first. It will probably take more time than is available once the belts are done.
