supragold Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have a set of 18" Volk wheels that need refurbing. The spokes are normal silver but behind the spokes they are anodised blue. I'd like to keep them like this if poss. One of the wheels is also cracked on the inside lip. I've been told this can be welded and machined but don't know who does this. Can anyone help.

tbourner Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Ooh I've got those in 17". I got offered £250 for them including 4 almost new tyres - probably not worth refurbing TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I disagree. They were very expensive new and are very light. I have the same in 18" and they are about as close to standard offset as you can get too. I too am thinking of refurb, but think I'll probably just do them all one colour. I can't see anyone wanting to take on the two tone as it's very fiddly masking the little blocks and the volks text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimH Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 You can try wickedwheels they are actually based in Suffolk (Saxmundham to be precise). I have never used them but I know of a few people that have and said they were good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I disagree. They were very expensive new and are very light. OK, I'm just telling you what I know. My 17" ones won't sell for any more than the cost of the tyres that they're wearing. I don't know how much they were new as they came on the car - does it matter how much they cost new? These are cars we're talking about here not anything that actually makes money!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgen-Jm-Imports Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 envy offer refurb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 does it matter how much they cost new? Of course it depends what they were worth new. It is an indication of the quality. Do you reckon a set of cheap Smiths wheels would be worth the same as decent Racing Harts after 5 years usage? Having said that....You only get what people are going to offer you though!

supragold Posted February 3, 2006 Author Share Posted February 3, 2006 Think I might just get them refurb'd in one colour and forget about keeping the blue. Might appeal to more buyers and it'll be easier to do. As for the value. maybe its because they are 17" you can't sell them. 18" have more appeal. Volk wheels are a very good wheel but like it says above they're only worth what someone will pay I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
