Is it because he's 4thgenist?

I have done work for a few people on here, I have even blasted robs volk Rays split rims.

Lloyd, I'm not sold on the wheels yet, but I promise they will look awesome on the crx. I too would like the later 160 crx.

Fancy doing 4-6 sets of wheels?

Well I think they look awesome, if it were a mk2 they wouldn't work.

No I don't fancy it really as a set takes 3 hours.
As for my wheels, I took them to a specialist and one is bad. One of the old welds is cracked, also the dish is pushed in. Basically it's had a side impact like sliding into a kirb doing a hand brake turn. So the weld area will need cutting out completely, the dish needs to be pulled back in line and then a fresh patch of metal welding in. Due to the bend in the front face I can't return the lip to polished as the diamond cutter needs a true wheel. These are looking costly.
Repair weld on one wheel. £50
Straightening of all 4 due to being buckled. £120
Then powder coat all 4, price tbc

yeah but how much are they going for when they are in good condition?

260 for powder coat, I get mine done for 160 cash at aero coat! Shop round for that!

Done a deal. £325 for the works. All 4 straightened, acid dipped and powder coated bright silver. So they will be like new, just without the polished lip.
