i must admit , im deffo swaying toward the 2k too after all my research and advise.

im going to start looking around for good places, dont supose anyone knows/recommend decent body shops in south?? iv rang a few and getting quotes of around 70 quid for the pair. decent enough price imo....plus i can save 30 notes off the front bearings ,seals etc. win all round!!

cheers for posting up lads.

£70 ain't bad considering the time taken in doing 2 pack. Is that including blasting and prepping the wheels?

I would paint them for you but I haven't a lot of time at the moment. Something worth noting is you can't blast the wheels if you leave the bearings in, well not shot blast anyway, your need them soda blasted or something similar which will cost more. You could rub them down yourself but nc wheels a right royal pain in the arse to do by hand.

Nothing tight about keeping good bearings in, ive had lots of wheels soda blasted to preserve the bearings.

How bad is the paint on your wheels?

Genuine bearings everytime lads, or your be doing them twice

If your wheels are that bad there easily clean up with soda blasting, you dont even need to take the tyres off although masking tyres is a bitch.

when you say genuine, you mean honda ones right!? who makes those?? i asked silvers and they just said a part number would be on the cage, no maker brand name..... whats wrong with koyo?? or others like SFK then, i thought they was all good!?
