Hallo All,

 

I'm thinking about getting my wheels fettled. Yes, they are stock alloys and no, I'm not interested in aftermarkets.

 

I have looked at loads of places that refurb alloy wheels but they all appear to offer powder coating only. Now I know this can look really nice and shiny (eg Andy P's) but I am not after that look.

 

What I am after is the same look as when they rolled out of the factory: alloy colour with a slight surface grain to it.

 

Does any one know a place that can do this or is powder coating my only option?

 

TIA - Gio

try these

 

wicked wheels

 

Looking at getting them to do mine

 

HTH

Thanks Hugh - I just gave 'em a call. They said £65 + VAT per wheel which sounds a little steep to me.

 

If you get yours done, I'd be interested in your opinion on the results.

Hi Gio, I can get Lepsons in Medway to do them for £35 per wheel if your interested.

 

i'll check on the grain pattern on the surface if you want me to, but dont think it would be a problem TBH

 

:)

Paul - thanks, might well be interested. What finish do they end up with?

 

Cheers - Gio

well, most of the wheels we send are smooth, they repair any dents/scuffs & paint the wheels.

 

not sent any stock zed wheels before so i'll ask them if the finish is a problem if you want me to

Thanks Paul, is it these guys?

we use them all the time for our Mercs, & the wheels come back looking like new :)
