LCR Wheel Refurb

[GregLCR04]

Got my wheels refurbed yesterday

Finished in Black Chrome. Liked the finish as it is a bit different from the normal trend

Calipers next if it ever stops fing raining

I thought Black chrome would've been closer to black... and chrome?

lol only joking! I've seen a similar powder coated effect and it looked quite good closer up. Although it was a bit darker? They look quite silver?

 

[GregLCR04]

They are called black chrome because they paint the entire wheel black then spray paint the front facing of the wheel in a chrome colour. It is difficult to appreciate the finish from a photo.

Looking Good, the colour is not too far off the OEM, very nice.

 

[GregLCR04]

Thanks mate. Colour is a bit brighter than OEM. Looks almost pearlescent from a distance. I'm really pleased with the end product and good value at £220.

looks good bud,
only downside to black underneath is when you get a stonechip and it reveals a black colour....(speaking from experience here).....mine are bright silver, but must of used a dark grey primer because a few stone chips look bad

im thinking of diamond cutting mine, where did you get your wheels done from mate?

Stone chipped wheels All my cars have had alloys on and they never been stone chipped, kerbed but not stone chips think you need to stop driving in the gutter lol.

That looks quite different to the black chrome I've seen before, but still nice. I appreciate that it's hard to get a good impression from a photo. Where were they done?

Mate of mine has just got his wheels back from Lepsons in Kent where he's paid something like £60 a wheel to get his Racing Puma wheels refurbed in to a shiny metallic grey. Looks very nice; subtle, but nice. Again, can't be appreciated without seeing them in the flesh

do you have a pic of the whole car? i was thinking about chrome or even nickel plating mine!

 

[BoomhaueR]

Looking good mate. I had a similar refurb, sprayed black but then sparkle anthracite on the front.

[GlanzaV]

Hmmm... 25% Discount? That's tempting! I like the satin black finish!

But I did say I wasn't going to get black wheels again!

this is what I imagined your finish to look like:

when they have been painted you will be suprised....i have dark grey spots all over the surface of the wheels. thats why they need redoing
