Wheel refurb

[chill-fr]

I realise this has been covered many times but i've searched and can't find any info to help me!!!

I'm wanting my std FR+ wheels refurbishing PROPERLY ie tryes off stripped and powdercoated. I'm looking at a two tone finish in silver and anthracite or black or something (don't really know)

The biggest problem i'm having is that all the info and reccomendations on here are for places down south which is no good for me!!!!.........SO basically;

1. Where can i get them done reasonably locally (I'm in Leeds)? I'm looking for places people have had them done and are pleased with the result!

2. Any colour ideas/pictures?

3. What kind of price will i be looking at?

Thanks in advance

Just incase i wasn't clear my wheels are the 17'' cupra ones so was thinking the outer rim sort of anthracite or gloss black and the spokes bright silver?

I have considered red and black but people i have spoken to seem to think this is a bad idea???

There's a place in Garforth that did mine a few weeks ago, called the wheel specialist.

The wheels look immaculate, and were corroded and pitted to hell before.

Had these done at the wheel specialist in anthracite very good £70 a wheel, I gather you can get cheaper but I was very impressed with the service they supplied me.

This is their standard anthracite colour it's gorgeous and looks fantastic in the sun.

Thanks for the replys guys.

Do the wheel specialists take tyres off? are they powdercoated?

That anthracite colour is rather nice, does anyone have there cupra alloys two tone?

Thanks in advance.

Yeah they do the full shebang, I delivered mine to them off the car but you can essentially drop your car off in the morning they will take wheels off tyres off, sand blast, acid dip, powdercoat, tyres back on, balance (even spray the wheel weights black on dark wheels) and put back on the car for you to pick up the same day! Now that's awesome!

Just looked on there website, they look good but quite pricy, does anyone know of any discount codes? There service does look good and there method also looks professional, I guess all in all its the price that's a bit off putting!

Also have you guys read about cleaning them? Basically any car wash place would ruin them cause they use chemicals and jets! That little fact was quite surprising!

Still waiting for those two tone pictures? Anyone out there got two tone cupra wheels?

all powdercoating is the same, just when you go to them (which you shouldn't, you should wash it yourself) you ask them not to use the chemical

i'm no good at washing cars they end up all streaky after a days hard graft, it seems much more logical to me to pay someone a fiver to do it!!

ANYWAYS................come on someone out there in Leon land must have pics of two tone cupra alloys????.....Or just an opinion??

 

[chill-fr]

I'm guessing two tone cupra alloys dont exist as no pictures have been posted so if you guys could give me some ideas and pics of your wheels in general that would be very helpfull!!!!

Thanks guys

Chris.
