Wheels were done in Anthracite powder coat with special metal fleck lacquer by Laptab Birmingham.

Both cars are looking ace! :D

I want to get my wheels done that colour when Ive got the spare cash. Any idea how much he paid, if you dont mind telling? :p

Cheers mate :) mine will b even better with a fully functioning CC unit :thumbsup:


Longish story Tom, his mate knew the receptionist there so they were getting them done for £200 all in (tyres off, refurbed, tyres back on and balanced) but she's left now so it'd be around £325 for the anthracite/lacquer finish. I'm gutted cos I was gonna have mine done white which was only gonna be £150 but she left before I had the money to get them done :thumbsdown:

Thats an absolute bargain!

White wheels would look superb with the blue too. My old/first car was a rally homologation Suzuki and had white wheels as standard, I loved em but eventually swapped them for some bigger bronze ones for a change. White really does look the part when clean though :)

An ST170?! No way!

I went through a [short] phase before I got the Zed of considering a 170, but in the end they look like a standard focus, have no turbo/are only 2 litres and 4 cylinders, aint as quick as a ZS180, and dont handle any where near as well. The Zed is a much more attractive car, especially with the 180 kit!

He needs a 180 I say, if he wants to upgrade ;)

yeah I know, trying to talk him out of it but he's a ford nut at heart and is totally paranoid about hgf in his 120 (he's had 2 k-series go on him before) and though he loves it i think the call of the blue oval is pulling him back....

both look sweet, the wheels on your bruv go well with the colour of his zed:snap:

Cheers John, but I think white would look better
