Nice one fella, they look great. Good job

Be nice to see them fitted when they're all done.

HIGHLY recommend the M Performance wheel bags, SO much better than my OEM Audi ones

Got them off eBay

Looks like they're made by Heyner, the same as the ones I've got but were half the price:

HEYNER H735100 SUV WheelStar spare wheel storage bags protective covers 16"-22", Set of 4 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00AQM8G..._SC9YDb58H4S4P

Have had those Heyner ones, WAY thinner and not as well fitting, but as long as you are happy 👍

I don't think I'd want anything thicker, they are thick old things!

Nice! Look better in black. Mine's the same colour so would look exactly the same. Best get my act together soon, before it gets even colder....Brrrr!

MattXYZ · 11-16-2019, 04:09 PM

Looks good teaston !

The black wheels along with your black mirrors and trim look really good!

Who did the wheel painting for you? And did they do a good job?

I like the black wheels better than my 21s! I'm seriously considering having my 21s painted black!

A few on here here done just that with the 718m's, they do look good. Would match shadow line (black) trim better. I still like the cerium bits, but if I was to change would want to go carbon instead of black (trim not wheels &#128514

Thanks mate! The mirrors are actually carbon fibre, done by a forum member, see pic below.

I got them professionally powder coated by BA Wheels in Norwich. Someone one here has painted their 21's and they look really good.
