    either that or melt it down to build cheap replicas, that steel is worth some coin when scrapped xD

    Glad you got it all sorted, call it anal, but I was pi**ed aswell when the f**ckwits at Tyrepower damaged my wheel. I wish my outcome was as good as yours. Well done.

    Here are the photos of the new wheels. You can't tell much from these photos but in direct sunlight and on an angle they shine heaps where the repaired ones were noticeably duller.

    Just caught up on this thread, shame about the repair job but lucky for that you Beaurepairs replaced them.

    I think, examining the photos and knowing a little about Neway, is that the dullness was a result not of imperfections in the repair but with the clear coat job.

    Neway does't have a proper paint booth, they probably just sprayed it in the open and left it as done, which means that allot of dust, dirt and oil residue gets sucked up and sprayed onto the wheel.

    If you ever get them repaired again, perhaps go through someone who has a proper paint booth set up and just sends them out for the lathe but paints and cleans them in a proper environment.
