Rob84 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Had me car serviced today (which went ok) but the guy who did it dropped one of me wheels face down onto the workshop floor and so now 3 spokes are fairly scratched and small pitting so now as i think 2 other wheels have a few stone chips on them, i might go for a refurb in the summer and i'm abit stuck on ideas cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Dam clicked wrong one. Anthracite instead of other. Right my suggestion......... have the entire rim diamond cut, the whole outside of it, all the spokes etc, and then the inside of the rim have it painted in a Anthracite kinda colour, to help bring up the colour of the spokes, then have em laquored to give it mega shine and bling quality. looks great on rims with fat chunky spokes as the light bends over em everywhere.

Colin Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 The diamond cutting would be the most expensive part imo, but any rim refurbihemnt place could do it, plenty of decent bodyshop's should even have the equipment locked up. You could do most of it diy a well, cept for the diamond cutting. You spray the rest of the rim at the back first, take it to get diamond cut and then come home and laquor it yourself, and nip down to quick fit and have the tyres put back on, save yourself some cash.

Mk6 Si Ross Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 i'll let you into a little secret!!!!! the new wheels in my thread were far from 'new' they were well shagged with the laquer peeling off n a scrape or 2 etc but they were cheap (ish) so i got em and then took em to be refurbed. All repaired 1st off, painted Ford Stouing all over then machine milled the faces so they back to the silver wheel. then laquered all over, tyres fitted that i supplied (the Toyo Proxes). cost 260 quid, might sound expensive but if you see the wheels up close and the finish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
