My advice...  leave it 'til the nice weather comes back dude!

Or..... get them done now and fit a dirty old 2nd set for the winter.

I was considering doing the same but think I've left it too late in the year now.

I think on those rims powder coating is your best option ?
if you decide its too plain then maybe get the lip/rim polished afterwards?,(or if your happy to pay im happy to polish them all!)

hello buddy,ive been very lazy and havent done the wheels yet,but yesterday ive went to a place called - ko alloy wheel refurbs.

they quoted me £250 to respray all 4 wheels and rebalancing incl,mind u this is for 15's.the bloke said it would take a day-which is fecking super fast i think.he showed some refurbed wheels which came out really nice-painted.

here u go www.ko-referbs.com their based north london herts area.

i have to save up abit-might get them done end of the month
