I think there is a market for similar wheel shops in the UK......

I love buying wheels that are OEM but different from the crowd Thumbs Up


I quite agree but would it make enough money to make it worthwhile?


You would be a better judge of that but with the right website and Google ranking I bet you/I could shift hundreds of US imported spanking black chrome wheels.....

Land Rover, BMW, Mercedes, Chrysler, etc Thumbs Up

Bet you want these babies everyone....

Stupidly, I did a quick photoshop of what mine would look like with the standard 19" wheels done black with the MTR's on, dayum, they look mean!

I was going to buy some spare 19" wheels to put my road tyres on too... 2006 Mercedes CLS

But really finding it hard to fight the urge for a S/C...

All done now!

Got the wheels back from City Powder Coaters in Birmingham today - £20 per wheel for strip and powder coat in gloss black. Not a perfect job but a good one, and I am very happy with them for the price.

Before:



After:



And fitted with new polished centre caps and MT/Rs (or should I say MR-T's Rolling with laughter ):

I'll post some better pictures when it stops raining! May not be to everyone's tastes but I quite like the look and am pleased I went for the black...

Once again superb look!!!

They look Black/Chrome rather than Black/Gloss which is great for £20 a wheel....

When I return to the Range Rover fold I will be doing exactly the same thing to whichever car I choose.

What's the everyday ride like on the MT-R's????

Yep, can't complain for £20 a wheel. Thumbs Up

MT-Rs seem ok on the road so far - definitely notice the tyre rumble like you get with any mud terrain pattern but in a strange way I quite like it! Steering feel is slightly different, feels a bit less connected on centre but nothing too bad. Ride quality is a tad better than with the 20's which came off.

I'm going to keep hold of the 20s for now so I can swap between if I need to. We are using the Rangey as our wedding car later this year and I've been told that I have to put the old wheels back on for the wedding because it now looks too 'evil' with the black ones!!
