Suprash Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I have a set of RH CR's, and bought them a couple of months before they released the CR-X's I think it was, the ones with the black spokes and chromed lip. Now with not wanting to again shell out for brand new wheels, or the same albeit with black spokes, could I get my spokes sprayed black ? Is there any wheel companys that do this ? Im sure I remember other people getting alloy wheels sprayed in a different colour like gun metal or something....?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Yep , you can get them re done any colour you like. In fact i'm looking at doing the same thing to my CX's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suprash Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Gonna try and hold out for somewhere a little more local first, wouldnt fancy the delivery costs on 4 RH wheels to Envy and back....... Gaz, if you see this, any idea how much it would be...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I sent some 16 " wheels recently for £25 how heavy are the Rh wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I'm gonna try and get this done to my CRs too, mine are in a mega need of a refurb though as they're corroded to hell. Got my AMEs on now but want something for the winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Are racing hart wheels just polished without any kind of treatment like chrome, lacqeur, anodise etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sounds like it, the amount that seem to corrode badly within the first year of use is insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then to be fair the RH wheels that I have seen that have always corroded the owners dont wash them regulary I wash mine about once every week to two, and the polish bit comes up clean each time, apart from the small black spots, god knows what it is, dunno if its tar or what, but always appears after a few weeks and I just use a bit of something stronger then soapy water......

Wondered what them black bits were too. Have you tried polishing/waxing them? I done mine the other week and Mr and Mrs black spots went!
