Randap, just to let you know I have just had my R105s refurbed. I had them powder coated in Anthracite. I used a company in Birmingham that I would totally recommend! Was a bit of a drive for me but they were really good and I know others have used them on here. Can give you the details if you want?

I do believe that you are havin' a laugh

P.S. TheWheelSpecialist (aka LapTab) have just opened in Nottingham, so I will probably be giving them a go in the new year. Still undecided on colour tho'.......

I will be interested to hear how it goes with aka LapTab.

As for colour I keep looking at doing mine in anthracite, i think black would make the wheel look too heavy, and want something different to silver. Although maybe High power silver would be good, or a matt black instead. Too many options hey!!

I used LapTab in Birmingham and I can't rate them enough. The finish is excellent, service was great. I went for anthracite in the end (had the burnished R105s which had started to corrode). I like them better in anthracite than I did when they were burnished.

, worth a try eh?

sooo undecided on wheel choice, but i kinda like the x'4's

["Reedy"]

I love the X4's but just abit too heavy and i would really want 40 profile tyres instead of 35, but not sure if they would fit but apart from that they look

["Reedy"]

Do you think i would have problems running 215/40/18 tyres on my X4's with Sport + suspension on my MCS..?? I do have a JCW steering lock limiter kit fitted too.
