looking good mate, just one thing though why have you still got the weights on them when theres no tyres on them. i would have thought they would have taken them off before refurbing them.

by the looks of things i reckon only the front has been refurbed so i doubt that they have been powder coated, more likely they have been sprayed.
i'm sure Gordy will inlighten us thought of what's been done

with they had been powder coated the heat when they bake it would have melted the glue of the weights

whats the point in refurbishing them if your only going to do the front :snooty: for an extra £30 i got mine powder coated and that was them having to weld one of the wheels after hitting a pothole.
