I have wheels

After what seemed like an endless search I finally found a nearby shop that did beadblasting, so after a few days I picked up the newly powdercoated wheels.
This place- P&J Powder Coatings


They are more or less the same colour as the originals.
Its slightly exasperating that the removal of old, purchase and refitting of new bearings cost a lot more than the powdercoat process itself, especially as their was nothing wrong with them in the first place.
There is a little bit of overspray to remove from the drum brake to clean it up but thats them ready for refitting.
I've put off fitting tyres for a bit and will look around at my options, currently considering Bridgestone BT45's, but that may change.
