Polishing Williams Wheels

[ben_p]

Ok, I Have Bought Some Williams Wheels, Theya Re In White With The Polished Lip, I Would Want Them All Polished, How Do I Do This And Would The Wheel Fook Up And Corode?

 

[Lunner]

Should be ok, woudoln't f**k up any more than the std polished lip on them.

 

[fUbAr]

i would laquer them after polishing them just to be safe

 

[ben_p]

YER, what process for polishing then?
just stage by stage bit differnt grades of paper?

 

[Middo]

can do it that way, or take it to a refurber. i was quoted 45a wheel for professional polishing but opted against it.

 

[ben_p]

i reckon it would take me 2days ish?

 

[Middo]

they wanted it for a couple of days, and that was using machine polishers, so i assume its possible.

 

[Lunner]

Would be a better job and easier to get them done properly

 

[ben_p]

lol or i just spray them silver

If you've bought white willy wheels then I imagine it would make more sense to sell them for decent money (ebay?) then buy some normal ones with bubbling lacquer that need a refurb, then do those ones.

Just seems a waste of someone else's time and money if they've spent £200+ on refurbing them white if you're just going to take it off again!

(IMO of course, as they're your wheels and you can do what you want... lol)

Winston has already polished up a set of willy wheels I believe?

 

[ben_p]

yer think he does, i would keep them white tbh, but i have a sliver car, its an idea the polished look. if a deal come up where i can swap with polished i would but if not i would like to have then polised,

more ideas peeps

 

[theduck]

:O i cant believe your going to get them polished! I now hate my MOT even more!

 

[MattyH16v]

Which type of silver are the willy wheels that winston had on his old hybrid?

 

[White16valver]

They are the polished ones!

 

[MattyH16v]

ah,lol. Does he still have this beauty?

 

[White16valver]

He does I believe, although it's currently in it's winter "use and abuse" condition iirc... lol

 

[ben_p]

winstons car has gone iirc, yer thats whats the finish is gonna be like, but ona mrk1 172, silver, down on coils

 

[Rich_16v]

Not trying to tell you how to spend your money but the wheels in white are perfect, you could sell them on ebay for £350 easily in my opinion and pocket the profit, then keep your eyes open for a cheap tatty set in need of a refurb then get them done professionally

I think the willy wheels suit the Mk1 172's and polished would look great against the silver

Heres the pictures you mention above:

Not a fan of the Willy wheels.

Turinis are the best looking wheel for all the 1*2's....

 

[ben_p]

thats the 5th constructive post,.., well done



cheers rich!

 

[Middo]

the wheels in the pic are now mine

seriously would look stunning on your car, i'd get them done in high power silver instead of getting em polished, too much hassle, and i'm pretty certain if you had them polished come winter you'd have to change them due to salt and s**t lol

 

[ben_p]

YER, am thinking of high power silver...
i would do either my myself.
but polished would look mint!

 

[Mike_S]

i want my willy wheels back, cry's like a baby,

 

[Middo]

hehehehehe .. not a chance

 

[Mike_S]

Thinking of some ancharcite(spelling)16" prima wheels

 

[Middo]

would look nice on a silver car never actually seen them in the flesh so im not sure on the quality tho

 

[Mike_S]

hang on i'll do a p'shop

 

[Mike_S]

bugger no time

 

[midge]

i have some tattyg willy wheels that im gonna get refurbed white, lets come to a deal ??

 

[Fred@BTM]

Ben if they're the white willy wheels off mehdi's white clio (now adams16v's, the one on TB's) you'll never strip them in a month of sundays!!!

 

[midge]

fred how much will you do some willy wheels in white with polished lip ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

£220 for all 4, its the lip that bumps the price up so much

 

[MikeyR]
