Any one recomend a good polisher (other than your wife) who would be able to undertake a mirror chrome like finish on some standard UK Zed wheels?

 

Saw some on a Zed today and thought it looked quite subtle but eye catching....Was thinking of getting mine done unless anyone has a good seconhand set of 4 split rims for sale....suitable to fit standard uk tyre sizes to.

PS: Ill get the rims beadblasted before they are polished so its just the polishing im after

I would like to do the same, so I would be interested to know the cost and how it looked when done!

 

My stock allows have too much brake dust embeded in them and a couple of scuffs :(

 

I dont know whether to risk alloy cleaner/acid on them or not...

 

There is company that advertises in the locak Milton Keynes paper, that does just alloy repairs but i have no idea if they are any good.

 

Will have to go over and see them when i have some cash... ;)

Wonder Wheels is good at removing brake dust...I swear by it. With regards to the re-finishing of the rims...I heard that to do a proper job of the rim edges....(ie) the bead..that they have to be done on a lathe. Weather this is true im not sure.

 

I can assure you the wheels look good when chromed or polished. I saw one and it looked PUKKA

 

 

Chris:cool:

I use a company in Kent - Lepsons. very good but prob too far away for you guys.

I had a price of getting my wheels chromed............Ready.............................£180 each + vat.

F/kinell ! :eek:

Far Canal!!! I could buy new split rims at that price.

 

Chris :eek:

Had reports from a chap with a supra that these are the nuts!!!!

Can vouch for spit and polish, they are very good.

I've used them for my car and can confirm they're OK. Good, but not 'show quality'. Very fast service though.
