Look good...as i said before the diamond cut are more expensive to take back to original look plus they are more likely to bubble/blister etc.

Excellent results JT and the amount of work involved was well worth the £75/wheel cost. I agree with your decision not to restore the original diamond cut finish - the finish of the devil in my opinion :evil: :D

Thanks for your comments guys. It's nice to hear other people like them too.
I'm now parking 2ft from a kerb, even though I'd never kerbed them before the refurb. :lol:

They look great, are the tyres Michelin's Crossclimates? How do they drive in comparison to the Proxes?

Yes, Michelin CrossClimate SUV tyres. I find them much better than the original Toyo's; quieter and also better grip on the road when there's standing water. Not sure what they'll be like in the snow, but they are certified for winter driving (3PMSF).

Had some on a VW golf (non SUV versions) and they were awesome, best tyres I'd had by far, pretty good in the snow as well
