New wheels John!!

[Tee5alive]

just picked these up for 100 Bacon rashers to match the CAB - now off for a refurb and BLACK POWDER COAT!! Or not sure if silver is nice??

opinions??

[500tie]

I really like them in silver mate but that's just my opinion

[MaxTS]

I vote silver or maybe a slightly darker shade

[The Flying Banana]

powder coating and a bit of welding you mean

[Orca2]

Black deffo

[AcidicDavey]

I'd go for silver on a dark car personally.

Good choice though, I do like Canistos.

[Doingitsideways]

Good luck buffing out that hole!!

Agree with Dave, silver on a car as dark as yours.
That, or very light grey.

[Tee5alive]

next question - Ive had some seriously STUPID quotes for refurb up to £100 per wheel FFS???? more than they are worth

so where so where do [we] the club go to get wheelies done please - is there an old Fred in The Shed somewhere whos (been doing it for donkeys years mate) that charges like £30 a wheel somewhere? (he asks hopefully)

[Tee5alive]

powder coating and a bit of welding you mean

DEFO! ones been curbed been quoted 80 rashers for that little TIG job

[AshDVS]

Canistos look good on most things.
Dark coloured cars typically look good with light coloured wheels and lighter/brighter coloured cars look great with dark wheels. Silver or a little darker would be great, though you've got some welding ahead of you first.

Just got back from Northampton with these bad boys 2 hours out and back! Had a look at the curbed one and NOT as bad as it looks in the pic but still £60 for a tig and balance!

POURING DOWN starving - so dragged them in - best sight of the day - hot bacon sarnie and a mug of tea!! Thank you lady turbo!

[AcidicDavey]

Well the price you pay for refurbs is very area specific.

Around here I pay £50-60 a wheel all in but I have also been quoted £65+ vat just for the faces locally!

[Tee5alive]

Yeah the guy in Northants is a Volvo nut has loads of them and said a local guy does the weld and balance and refurb for £50 per wheel - down my way we are stung with LONDON prices £100 per wheel!!!

You have 17" wheels on the V70, why go down to 16"? Will they even fit over the brakes?

Just wondering.

The Canistos are 17 inchers too

[M-R-P]

Really? My mistake

[Tee5alive]

The Canistos are 17 inchers too

Yes checked carefully before buying otherwise speedo over reading and grating brakes!

I dont know WHAT those horrible things are on the V70 but they are getting sold SHARPISH once I have my new tyres off and transferred to the Canistos might get a fiver on ebay for them as they are so awful

[stribo]

Shame mate, I've got a set of straight Canistos, you could have had for £100, with 2 good tyres, and 2 on the limit. Must get some pics and get them advertised. Always worth putting a wanted post up.

[Orca2]

I think the wheels on your v70 are called Amalthea . They are bog orrible Things
I have a set I use in the winter for mine. I am hopeful that the salt will eventually dissolve them completely.

AAAWWWW NOOOOOO I would have snatched you hand off mate! I paid 100 rashers for those manky ones and all the tyres are pants. Ive had 2 new ones put on so have to get those changed over and 2 more new ones.

cost me £30 in juice too!!
