Sportline Wheels repainted matte black.

[Dene Olley]

After trawling the internet for nearly 3 weeks trying to find a suitable replacement set of 18 inch wheels to replace my Wolfrace Assassins that came on my van, now dont get me wrong the Assassins are a nice wheel but just not my type. After not being able to my mind up so many times I was simply drawn to the T6 Sportline wheel however they do not have any full Satin Black wheels. I eventually purchased a new set from the dealership (only because get great discount as a friend works there) and dropped them into a local Alloy wheel company and had them powder coated and painted satin black. I have to say I really like them and pleased with the job from WheelRight in Washington.

I like the tailgate spoiler........is it the VW one? If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to get painted? It's the next thing on my to do list. Well, that and a Fiamma awning!

It looks like the T5 style one to me, which is what I want. @Dene Olley can you let us know where it came from?

Just a bit! Can't believe how many times I have phoned and chased them. It does feel like stall tactics, but that could be just cos I want one so badly!

 

[DaveyB]

Guess that is why they are having it formed from plastic now.
