wheel refurbing ( black )

[rickyjones1209]

aup

im considering getting my wheels done in black.

at the mo they are like two tone with black on the inside and only silver on the out flat spokes.

anyone got pics of black wheels on LCR - red LCR if poss?

how much does this cost etc?

 

[Ronin225]

Have a look for NEV_LCR as he has a red LCR with black wheels

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

£200ish on average, stripped, dipped, powdered, refit and balance and should get it done in a day. Most places give a years warranty

 

[icestorm81]

does anyone know of any wheel powder coaters around the dorset area?

 

[Nev_LCR]

rick, come on you know mine are done,

you are looking at £200, have a look at my thread on the last page,

 

[will-225]

I paid £300 for a black refurb but that was on 22's

If you have a look in the Car Care section on here you'll find a guide on doing it yourself at 1/4 of the cost.

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Yeah I did that guide....can do all 4 wheels for less than the price of getting one done at the powdercoaters.

Was thinking about having ago next week, do you get a problem with chipping or anything?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

To be honest its never going to give you the durability of powdercoating but with a few decent coats of primer and paint you won't have any problems.

No matter what you have done if you kerb them there going to scratch but if you do them yourself you'll already have the equipment to repair it instead of another trip to the powdercoaters.

 

[Dyscontinued]

This is true.

Wonder what colour for a black LC with starfish alloys?

Theres a black LCR on here with White wheels and that looks very nice.

White is also the easiest colour to spray as it hides most imperfections.

rick, come on you know mine are done,

aye, i remember seeing yours it looks very smart. ive always liked black wheels on any car and against the red it looks fit.

its just £200 will go a long way towards something that actually makes a difference on the car rather than just aesthetics. we'll see what happens.

cant i just get some black spray paint and have a bash myself??

^^^^Whats this kit thing about for doing all wheels for price of one???^^^

if you wait long enough they will discount the price

 

[icestorm81]

How long would i have to wait?

 

[Sportrider]

few days-to a weekish

 

[icestorm81]

Ok, thanks for letting me know, as i need a couple of weeks to save up the dosh

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

yeah but you still can get cheaper than the wheel specialist and i know of someone who doesn't rate them at all. Anyone offers what there offering nowadays tbh
