My new rims didn't turn up this week. There is a hold up for the finishing somewhere.
I'll report back on Monday with an update. Regards, Greg. |

Ok guys some minor bad news.
I was just washing up the original wheels for boxing. The tyre fitters have scratched / scuffed one rim :( Its only minor, but never the less Im far from happy. They have refused to fix it claiming I did it before the wheels were fitted (bull crap). I have touched that wheel up with some ford touch up paint. Its in box 4 of 4, I am offering a discount on this rim of $50. So if anyone doesn't mind as its a spare anyway, they can save a few bucks. Im really sorry about it, but there's not much I can do at the moment. I've got pics of the damage if anyone wants them before they agree... Regards, Greg |

Apstar, as for the paint ford should have it. The colour is a number, not an actual name from memory. I'll get back to you, I've seen it online from a UK shop, once I can remember which place it was I'll let you know. Its a ford parts website. |

Thanks Colonel but unless I'm totally blind I cannot see touch up paint for the wheels as the color would be the same for all cars I was told by my dealer thats its not the same as stardust silver even so he cannot find anything on his parts list !

Hi Greg
Just picked up my rim from James (great to meet another XR5 owner). It is in perfect condition - thanks for giving it a clean! Cheers Warren |

No worries!
I hope it goes well fitting in the boot. Let me know, I've kept the scratched rim as a spare for myself. |

Will be a little while off - need to find a tire to go on the rim. As it is a spare, happy to wait for a second hand one. Once I get that, will swap out my scratched rim for the new rim and then put it in the boot as a full sized spare.

No worries, Im working off the same method.
Waiting for the current treads to wear, then use one of the old ones as a spare. |
