oooh...new shoes....suits you!
 
Well tomorrow I am meeting up with Sammy for the track cars first photo op! Hoping it makes it to the front page of the site ;)

So I decided to get the other set of wheels out which are standard, pretty much unmarked mk1 wheels.

I then took this photo as a 'before'...

I then started the process of spraying them white....

Now currently all drying (centre caps too) in this state....

I am packing them in to the car and taking them with me tomorrow so a quick wheel swap will give the car its cleanest look possible!

You will get to see the finished product tomorrow :)

Get the tippex out and paint the lettering on the tyres as well that would look cool.

Smokey 07-06-12 07:26 PM

Was thinking about that but its 2 x Toyos and 2x Avons

grimmy 07-06-12 10:08 PM

Awesome, that will look cracking in the pics

Maxfly 07-06-12 10:22 PM

looking great, pics will be excellent as usual from sammy am sure:)

Smokey 07-06-12 10:30 PM

That's all I expect to get from the writing, one shoot lol! I'm not even using them to drive to the shoot, will be a quick change when I get there! 2 now done!

andys1981 07-06-12 10:32 PM

what you gonna do keep one side avons and the other side toyos for the photo shoot,thats what id do mate

Smokey 07-06-12 10:41 PM

That's what I was thinking to... Just realised though, one of the toyos are the wrong rotation tread wise. Problem other than In the wet?

Maxxed_Ross 07-06-12 10:42 PM

might make the handling a bit weird

grimmy 07-06-12 10:46 PM

I had two of my kumho tyres the wrong way round for over a year and noticed no difference.

Smokey 07-06-12 10:58 PM

I'd assume it would be rubbish for water dispersal but I don't plan on running them in the wet as there isn't loads of tread anyways!

I'll just go with it with Avon's one side, Toyo's other side. Surely on track they will all grip nicely in the dry?!

andys1981 07-06-12 11:46 PM

thats if it is dry bud,hope it is though!
