Great job. MY13.5 Autobiography, Santorini Black, Privacy Glass. Gone
Driving a milk float for now.

Thankyou .Used a kit off Ebay (E-tec calliper paint). Good stuff, dried quick and even when brushed on left a very smooth finish. Was about £15 for the kit and have done all 4 callipers with less than 1/2 the paint. Dont know why i went with blue but am quite happy with the result, certainly looks better than the rusty look it had before . Also painted the disc bells in satin black to smarten things up a bit

Made a start today on refurbing my latest ebay purchase . Bought a set of genuine Borbet split rims so set about taking the 100 titanium bolts out and splitting the wheels ready for the next stage

Nice

I have the same rims and get loads of good comments from people, and ive never seen a set on another RRS.

What are you going to do with them?

This is what mine are like

Nice! Thats the reason i went for these, they seem to be quite rare. Havnt decided yet, but i think the centres will be a different colour to the rims like yours. Just got to decide if i should go with stornoway or darker?? Got a set of 4 275/45/20 kumhos to go on when they are finished  Current fleet

After careful consideration i decided to go back to the stormers . I didn't like how close the spokes were to the calipers so fitted the 275/45s to the stormers

On the plus side, the 275/45s have transformed the ride. The steering now feels more planted and the potholes don't seem as big

Maybe now the 20" split rims may end up on my 90 td5 with some meaty tyres (275/60/20s??)
