I am totally gutted! :evil: i have damaged a wheel takin on a kurb, what a knob i am! have seen about getting it repaired, that is not the problem. The problem is that everywhere i go everyone says the same thing, that they will be unable to match the colour of the wheel, and that i will have to paint all four!

Has anyone else had this prob? is so can you help me in anyway, i have to maintain my cars good looks!

WR1Lee (not me) is selling a Genuine WR1 Wheel in the 'FOR SALE' section!

He doesn't need it anymore, 'cos he's bought an Audi A4 Diesel!

PMSL at the Female protection tyres :lol:

The Pzeros don't have much rim protection at all! Another reason to get F1's on as soon as zeros are finished.

Yes at local tyre place a while back, iwas waiting to get tyres on the van so thought i'd ask while i was there. Can't mind exact prices but went through a lot of the performance tyres & most coming in between
