As im always mucking about with alloys buying, changing colour, refurbing or selling im gunna use this to keep track of all the alloys that come through my hands and ill keep you all up to date on what ive currently got etc etc.
Alloy Set 1:
At the moment i have Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's which i picked up for £140 which i think personally is a great price, they are 206 fitment so whether i keep these or not i do not know.
Heres how they looked when i picked them up, 2 of the Alloys were in pretty good nick and 2 had quite a bit of kerbing, I didnt really take any pictures of them when i got them so heres what they were like and there were deeper marks. I have got the centre caps they are basically new.
I think i have decided to do these alloy a candy black but this may change.
Then i started getting to work sanding filling the kerb marks, this became a messy task as i found it easier to keep it smooth filling with my fingers:
Now to prep them for priming:
Primed (1 down 3 to go):

IMO they would look alot better on your car if they get done in black, than the alloys you have now.
