Alloy reconditioning

[StewyD32]

Does anyone know where I can get my alloys reconditioned.
I want the scuffs fixed and a colour change on them

Tallaght Power Coating are well renowned, alternatively, do it yourself at home if you have the time and inclination, there are plenty of guides on the web (and one on here somewhere).

Thanks for the replies, I mailed both of them so just waiting for a reply.
I was thinking of doing them myself but want a good job done on them.

Although was half thinking of changing them totally so if anyone is interested (plug). Work RSR forged magnesium 17"

You'll be spending a lot of money to get a better set of rims than those Work RSR's - best to refurbish IMO.

[StewyD32]

Yeah I know their a good set of alloy so that's why I'm in 2 minds about it. This is the type of colour I'm after now

[StewyD32]

I was meaning to post this ages ago.
I took a few photos before and after. The crowd I got them done with did a good job and was a great price. I can stick up their business card if im allowed if anyone is interested.
I went in between a matt and full gloss finish so its not too dull or shiny, which suits the car IMO.

Nice job - they look really well. Far nicer than anything you could buy off the shelf over here.

Great job Stewy, the blue stripe makes all the difference.

Yeah I'd say an extra 5 bhp per wheel. .
But really, the strips only cost 7 euro made up and delivered of eBay. A good 7 euro spent if you ask me

LOOK AWESOME!
Well wear!

[richardc9052]

Looks very cool!

[paul2508]

look great stewy. Loving the rim tape on tie wheels. More of a focal point now. Good job

[Sebastian]

looks like a bike wheel with that stripe

[StewyD32]

I'm sure you can use them on any type of wheel seb. Even on a wheel barrow
You actually do see them more on bikes. I might start a trend ya never know

[Sebastian]

Mate has them on a CBR that's why I said

[Dragonheart]

Excellent work Stewy. Really suit the car!

[Kace]

Great looking. How much did the refurbs set you back for the set from that crowd ?

[StewyD32]

Thanks. I got them done for €280 from wheel wizards in jamestown industrial estate in finglas which is good. I was getting quotes between €350-€600.
they have the proper set up as well, so if your thinking about a referb I'd recommend them. I think their mobile as well

[Kace]

You're in good company with the strips....

Saw these today on a Bentley Continental GT



Inserted son for size comparison - these are 22s btw.
