I have a 91 UK 300zx which by the looks of it has the original wheels it was born with.

 

I have looked up some companies who recondition wheels and they work out about 120 quid for a full set.

 

Anyone had this done? What are the results like? Do they last?

 

Thanks.

 

Ive just had my 17inch 5 spokers done three of them were a bit kerbed and chipped so got full set done they look like id just bought new,I also changed the colour ,Not a bad price either £150 .

I had a pair or rears done by Spit 'n' Polish, pretty good finish, cost about £79 I think which included a small weld/repair. The finish is silver powdercoating which is easier to clean, and slightly shinier than the original.

 

Hi,

I had the wheels on my previous car reconditioned by a company in Birmingham called Lap-Tab UK.(www.lap-tab.co.uk)

They chemically stripped, blasted and then powder coated and laquered the wheels, for approx £112.

The finish was very good, and will last as long as the laquer doesn't get damaged.The finish acheived depends on the state of the wheels you provide.

Thanks everyone,

 

Jez - I think I will go for the company you suggested as I live in Rugby, and Birmingham isn't too far away.

 

I will take some before and after shots so that people can see the difference.

 

Thanks again.

 

Hi,

Lap-Tab did a good job on my Z31 wheels, and I can recommend them! I will probably get my current wheels done there as well.

Daft questions but what is OEM, i see it quite often and never have a clue as to what it stands for. I think it means stock Nissan parts.

 

Can someone put me right on this one.
