The rims are Ambrosio, they were chap as chips BITD, I used to get them from Ron Kitchins up here in Harrogate, gave them some hell and they never tweaked. They're great!

I got the rims from Bournemouth - Dirty Vans sale in the club house a couple of years ago. They are grey but have a blue hue to them. Originally they were destined for the Vector but they werent quite right - to blue, but they look mint on the Quad.

As for the colour I have a good friend who restores scooter and does custom airbrushing and paint. I trawled through many swatches looking for the right blue. Alot of them are 'too blue', I wanted one that wasnt to blue and 'quite white' because that show I remember them from BITD. The actual finished colour had to be mixed as the swatch i found it in had been discontinued. but was well worth the effort and time it took to find.

Cheers for the compliments.
