standard wheels refurb

[dp9901]

thinking bout getting original wheels refurbed but not sure wether to get them powder coated in championship white (which is original colour) or to go for a graphite/gunmetal grey colour. any one got pics of dark wheels on a c/w. also anyone know of powder coating in the south west i.e devon area.cheers then

Why don't you use the search function? I'm sure you can find quite a lot of photos.

I think one of the best colours I have seen is when Livvy & Paul did theirs.

Just found this pic by doing a search, I think those wheels just look the ducks nuts 8)

i was contemplating getting mine refurbed a similar colour to the work emotions too, but now i see these pics i think it mybe looks too dark, unless the pics arent doing the colour justice?

maybe with a slight blue pinstripe?

Sounds interesting & different - looking forward to seeing the pics 8)

diamond cut - imagine the popular honda oem wheel called "epsilon" that you see on accords. we replace loads of them under warranty.

konig do a lot of wheels like that too, black inside edges with polished face.

 

[Evs]

Yeah I'm not surprised about the warranty claims - the painted ones are bad enough, but getting lacquer to stick to bare ally for any length of time is pretty difficult.... :?

i sometimes look at my Works and think they are too dark, other times i like it but close up they look the nuts. I haven't put the lettering on mine

Really liked the colour of these when i first saw them and maybe the way i might go when i get mine refurbed.

Not a huge colour change from oem but it's just slightly different 8)

I got a set of CTR wheels refurbished and it cost me £50 a wheel at some joint in Melton Mobrey they did a top job taking the tyres off and dipping them first to remove all old paint. Alot of places charge alot more than that.

As for getting them powder coated i would like to know what price that will be? as i might get my old oem wheels done incase i ever get bored

i have had a quote of £35 +vat per wheel for powdercoating from a place in exeter(1st choice finishers) they dont do championship white though so its either match it as best as poss from their swatches or go for a dark colour.also is powder coating better or should i just get them re-painted have heard powder coated wheels can chip easier?

 

[kingston]

everyone is getting darker wheels, get soem baby blue ones if its a 'white' one
