Refurbing my wheels!!!

[Tyssen]

Whats involved? How much would I expect to pay?
Does anyone know of anyone who does it near York/Leeds?

 

[MillerLight]

about £40 a wheel ish

 

[Dcds4]

prob best off selling them and buying another set with decent tyres... second hand wheels are cheap...

 

[Tyssen]

Well the tyres on mine now are only 6 months old and in good nick plus I like the wheels so wouldnt want to get rid of them. Wanted some OZ Super Turizmo 16" in white but cant afford then, so thought getting mine refurbed in white would look nice and is a cheaper option.....my wheels below.

 

[Dcds4]

that wheel doesnt need a refurb, but unless your wheels are worth loads your better off buying 2nd hand wheels... if you just want them resprayed your looking at about 10 quid to remove the tyres, 50 quid for the powder coating, then another 20 or so to get the tyres refitted and balanced, centres would need spraying though unless they are metal

Getting mine done for £15 a corner, but thats a friend of a friend:rasp:

 

[Tyssen]

oops start again I think - I just want them spraying - white!!!!!

would that be per wheel then.

 

[cat171]

No offence, i'd leave them silver as they'll look naff white.

 

[Tyssen]

I want some white wheels though, think they would look good against the black

 

[xcore]

leave silver unless the cars based on the motorsport look imo

 

[MillerLight]

i think black goes well with black. stelth

 

[Tyssen]

Ive never been that keen on black on black just think it looks like your missing your wheel covers.

Thought white would just look cool, Im just wanting to change the car slightly dont want it to be totally standard as never stands out

 

[MillerLight]

id say new wheels then. halfords has had 15 inch sets at around £250 after xmas (with tyres)

 

[cat171]

+1

 

[Tyssen]

Think Ill save and for for the Oz Super Turismo ones in white

 

[Tyssen]

Just seen in another thread black gloss wheels, please could someone photoshop mine on my car below to black gloss?

 

[Dcds4]

I wouldnt fancy doing something like that myself wouldnt know where to start:S

never learn unless you try

 

[Tyssen]

never learn unless you try

How would I go about doing this then FM?

What materials would I need etc, Im assuming I would just mask off the tyres?

 

[Gumby]

The one I posted would cost you about £60 to have them all powdercoated...

 

[xcore]

well i think white walls are on the way back!^^

Ouh ouh I want to get them done, thats a bargain price that is.....

How long does it usually take, Id have to stay with the car with it being in Leeds/Bradford.

Would they do Black Gloss then?

 

[Gumby]

If they've got over 400 colours, I'd imagine gloss black to be one of them

How do they do it then? Sorry if im being a bit slow here just want to know cos Im really really thinking bout getting it done. Is that the total price you paid then?

 

[Gumby]

I haven't had it done, just remembered that there was a thread about it ages ago. Give them a ring and ask

 

[Tyssen]

Doh - thick biatch or what - will do ta for info.

 

[Tyssen]

Just rang and got a quote for both white and Black Gloss - £15 per wheel - would need to take rims into them (wouldnt know where to start taking them off) and it takes 2 working days - didnt think £60 was bad at all, will have to seriously think about this..........very tempted

 

[Gumby]

No worries Might have to pop up there too at some point as I have set of wheels that need a referb

 

[Final Maxim]

£60 is very very cheap, if you can get them done professionaly for that price id go with that
