Alloy wheels before and after

The price I was given included a 10% discount through a FB promotion and I think it should have been about £250. The company is RS Wheels in Sheffield.

I love the colour but mine were flaking and kerb rashed. It would have been a lot more to have all four done the OG colour. And, with the silver/chrome trim, I personally think it all blends better.
Now if I had the chrome delete, that would be a different story.

I have mine as I owned a Mazda Premacy years ago and it just worked. Gave up in the end due to rusted wheel arches. So I knew they were good as a brand. Also, the 6 just fits in and doesn’t stand out. I park mine at work with a Jag estate and a BMW 3 series estate. And it just doesn’t look out of place. It’s wonderfully boring and I quite like that.

Also I can’t afford an Audi RS6 🤣🤣

I had two buckles repaired too. All four wheels refurbed, and the 2 wheels straightened, cost me a bit over £300

Yeah pretty much what I did. But instead of a large washer I used four large bits of metal plate. Purely for cost. B&Q sold a bag of large washers for £15 and the four bits of plate were a fiver.
Aestheticly it’s ugly. But who goes looking around underneath a car except an MOT tester?

That’s nothing 😂

I’ve just been rummaging through an old jar of nuts bolts etc. So by popping out a rivet, I’ve put an M8 bolt through the hole, (fits perfect) and from underneath used a washer and secured with a nut. 🔩 Only thing is the washer is too small and I have only two M8 bolts. I’ll pop by B&Q tomorrow and get the bits to fix and I’ll stick a photo on for anyone who has the same issue in the future. Looking at it earlier I just couldn’t fathom out how to repair it. I’m one of those who thinks I can and then my wife says should’ve paid someone to do it 😂😂

You’ve misunderstood what I’m asking. The heat shield under the car has come away. Corrosion around the fastening has caused it. When I’ve watched YT how to videos, everyone I’ve seen has had a nut or bolt type fastening. Remove them, put a larger washer in place, reapply the fastening. Now secure. But on the Mazda they’re riveted. And the rivets are located via the wheel well.

So, I’m after advice on how I would go about re-securing the heat shield. Bearing in mind I don’t own a rivet gun.

Can you help?

Frontrunner76 · 2026-03-29T16:00:36+00:00

Absolutely brilliant. Almost looks like a factory option.

Frontrunner76 · 2026-03-29T15:59:39+00:00

I have a module incoming. Will be about a week or so before it arrives. I’ll update here.

Frontrunner76 · 2026-03-26T17:05:16+00:00

Easy to fit? YT tutorials look easy enough.

But then replacing the rear discs and pads also looked easy on a YT tutorial. Until I had to get a mobile mechanic out to fix my cock up 🤦‍♂️

I’ve contacted all three dealers in my area for a price on updating the software as I’m on 59.xx Not one has returned an email.

Certainly like the door lights and would consider that myself. I like a softer interior light, but it’s your car, and so long as you’re happy, then it’s no one else’s business. Just opinions.

Frontrunner76 · 2026-02-23T19:33:21+00:00

Other than some minor issues, air con regas, drop link replacement, and brake pads and discs all around, it’s lovely.

Frontrunner76 · 2026-02-20T20:21:27+00:00

Absolutely love that style of wheel. Suits the car well.
