Bought some bottle tops from Ebay for the princely sum of 99p. However, they were in a bit of a state as you can see. I just wanted a cheap set of original wheels so that I could return the car to OEM.
The previous owner had already tried to spray them and his own paint was flaking off as well as the original paint. I set about using paint stripper then sanding it down ready for spraying but it was very time consuming.
In the end, I found out I could get them professionally shot blasted and powder coated (front and back) for £14 per wheel so I did that instead. I think it looks pretty good. They didn't do anything about the kerbing but its not very noticeable once painted.
I'll see how hard wearing it is come Winter! If anyone is interested I used CAS Coatings in Bradford Tel. 01274 634493.
