I had my Oval first done in 2007 and recently did a wheel upgrade. I reused th og front tyres and went larger on the rear with new tyres. Last weekend I had them done again. The og fronts were still good( just a little faded after the new rears) so I had them redone. Had my ute first done in 2010 and they were still really white.Also just done a wheel upgrade on that as well- so had the new tyres done as well. The Bloke who did them has been at it for years and gave me the tips to maintain good colour for years. The main trick is using top quality paint. He only uses a product he gets from the U.S. I have been in negotiations today with a Bloke to buy all his gear so I can start a small sideline business here.

No haven't touched them. Got a bottle of Eagle tyre and wheel cleaner from him- ready for when they get dirty.

Looks great Mate,
Now I know who to see when its time for new wheels.
Are they the same style rims on both the Bug and the ute?


nbturbo - April 29th, 2016 at 08:55 AM

yes they are all speedy wheels - did the Oval with Ford stud pattern because of the good range of offsets.I had the front wheels off the ute once, and one accidently fell onto the rear of the Oval (19x8.5 ) and it was a perfect fit.You can now see what happened.

That's a tight wheel package for sure!

My machine arrived and this is my first effort.I have ordered another buffing wheel(10mm) and a 9mm and 15mm application tool.My set up came with a 15mm and 25mm wheel and shitty paint applicators.Most walls will be 10mm because the tyres now are all so low profile,so there isn't much wall size to deal with.
