Thanks again for all the help... I need to change my tires, and I am considering changing my rims as well. My Lada still have the standard wheels on. I am thinking of powder coating them. The Lada on the the LOCSA banner, are those the standard rims? Attachments:

To powder coat a rim will cost around R500 a wheel. This is more than I expected, but will be sand blasted cleaned before powder coated. I am not to sure about the white, but a really like the look of the Lada in the banner, my Lada is just blue...

I can buy the Nankangs F7 tyres in Vanderbijlpark, it is more expensive that Marius, but Ventersdorp is quite a drive from me...

After you fit them, some sunlight liquid and a brush and get those letters nice and white.

That really looks like nice tires, I will most probably go the Nankang route when I need to put new ones on. Luckily mine still has a lot of life in them.

Hi Deanno locsa.proboards.com/thread/452/nankang-tyre-import?page=2I used RustOleum to spray my NIVA std rims. Used one and half can (340gm cans) to spray one coat on inside and two coats outside for 4 rims. Is available from Builders Warehouses and can be had in a variety of colours. I used Charcoal gray Spikes
