Do they just paint them? i found that painting them does not last it is better to have them sandblasted and re dipped Leslie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want I can post them back to you. PS. Thanks Gaz, you'll be on comission soon! I have a question - how much of the wheel do you paint? I had my Porsche ones done at my last service in May. It was expensive (£100 per wheel) - and when I took one of the wheels off I discovered only the visible part is painted. Everything behind the spokes is grey primer. Apparently this is how it's commonly done - unless you ask for the whole wheel to be done. But I wasn't that impressed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usualy ask first and put an extra £20 on depending on condition, sometimes if they need sandblasting it can get expensive but no where near £100 per rim.

rovervi Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 A guy who i know at work had his Type R wheels refurbed by Chips Away and they made a really nice job, dont think it was too expensive either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 The wheels I have are 19" split rims wit the lip polished. They werent in the best condition when I bought the car lots of kirbing ans 1 of the rear ones has a doind on the inside edge which would need heating up and knocking back into shape.
