decisions decisions

right got a cracking set of alloys which need refurbing. now do i get the coated completely or chromed?? im scoping for ideas guys and i know its my choice at the end of the day but what do YOU think.

 

they are LENSO RK'S originally looked like this

now so far because of the polished lip ive decided not to have them recondition to there original spec as it cost way too much quoted £100 per wheel.

 

now i have been given great quotes for both the bright chroming and the colour coding eg silver

IMHO mate-chrome wheels are tacky!-think the silver or shadow chrome myself ;)

get them dipped at your local furniture and wood strippers, then take them to get blasted and powder coated, they do a lovely sparkly silver

 

i got cadpauls done and it was a very reasonable price

 

but my mate dont work there anymore :(

see i wasnt sure because what i was thinking is that if i get them chromed and down the road i dont like it, i could mask off the lip and spray them silver leaving the lip chrome.sort of replicating the original design. what do ya recon!

PINK

seeing as you are so obsessed with pink :rofl: :rofl:

I personally think you should get them chromed, and if they don't suit, do what you said and mask rim and silver the spokes!

chrome wheels look nasty have rim polished and centre painted PLEASE NO CHROME!!!!! :nana2: anyway its up to you but you did ask...

Chrome rim, black/gunmetal centre!! :D

tbh 25-40 per wheel is generally the going rate. but i did get quotes for

 

£400 to restore them to there former glory due to the diamond cut lip!! ouch!!

 

lets wait and see eigh. but £100 sounds fanblurry tastic :bow:

if you can find someone claiming to do them for 25 quid you may aswell do them yourself... they will prolly last longer!
