Hi All,

My car used to have some 19" aftermarket wheels fitted with some very very thin tyres fitted, i always felt that the ride was not quite what i was expecting from such a high end car, But the wheels did suit the car and looked great - Move on to a recent MOT and there was a crack in one of the wheels, so a fail.

I managed to quickly get a set of the 18" Stock wheels from ebay and had them within the week. They did look 'used' .....

Anyway i dropped them of to a place around 10 miles from me that was highly recommend called 'Phoenix Alloys' in Bristol. Alloy Wheel Repair | Phoenix Bodyshop and Alloys | Bristol, England

3 days later i had a call and they were ready, and in the stock colour they arrived to them.

They look like new, nicely balanced and fitted with nice rubber ( Stock size )

What a difference to the ride.


Very happy indeed.

They look a bit dirty as they are - Just got back from a jolly, and now have to get the salt crud off everywhere.....
