Tell me about it. Trying to be patient.
I'm doing better than a guy on the urq GB Facebook group. His car was at a bodyshop, in primer, two years ago and for some reason he's still waiting to get it back, and now it's not even there. Not a good situation!

Awesome Rob.
Just one thing, is the face where the wheel mounts to the hub meant to have a metal surface?

Not sure on the center caps. My feeling is without but we'll see how it looks. Time to buy some locking nuts.
I was thinking the same about the surface where it mates to the hub. Will find out.

Shouldn't paint the mounting face, may result in balance issues

Wont affect balance at all, the "theory" is that paint can crush / wear away over time leaving your wheels loose.
Thats why they suggest never painting the mounting face or the lug holes.
Wheels look GREAT by the way, no center caps!

Awesome, will leave them as they are then :)
I'm looking forward to seeing them in sunlight. And of course on the car.

Where should I look to buy locking wheel nuts? Someone like Hyper?

I bought a set of genuine locking nuts from ECS Tuning, they come with neat covers for the bolts. They have a large selection of caps if you want extra in different colours etc

Centre caps look better with the logos in the middle.

Also, hidden valves FTW.

Hidden valve is a nice touch even better if you paint it white?

This car is going to look super!

Agreed, Rob.
They certainly are a brilliant wheel.
Who did the painting? Wouldn't mind refurbing mine.

Levin Powder Coating did them, they did a great job, and half the quoted cost of painting at the body shop.

I called in to visit again Saturday morning and make some non-too-subtle comments that it's about time it was done, and five days is plenty of time to finish it off, isn't it? etc :)
Will talk to them mid week also.

Just spoke to them and they have two people doing things on it now.
I said "So it'll be finished by the end of the week won't it?"
She said "Probably, I don't see why not"
That's as close to a commitment as I could get :D
