Pikeys Stole My Tyres ! Wheel Refurb
« on: 15 March 2010, 18:43 »


Ahhh where my tyres gone !?


Nah... Removed my wheels as they're going for powdercoating tomorrow - CAS Coatings, Bradford = Unbelievably cheap for powdercoating.

I always thought to go black as my roofs going black and the B pillar/mirror caps.

Haha i bought a set of Genuine R32 wheels off an R that binned it, thats the bad un. I use it to jack car on ect..

OR it could be my extreme measures for weight reduction !

Aye black has always been the plan, But there so many options, Gloss, Satin, Black magic....

I think sparkles ect.. in the paint looks too flashy/gay - A straight colour i think, whats difference between satin/gloss?

Hmm ok somewhere in between then... Gloss seems best option then.

Any people who want there wheels coated who hasn't seen the price of these guys should look. They're doing my 18" rims for £18 a wheel, can't even buy the paint to do it myself for that price. I'll post pics when they're done.
