Bargain powder coated wheels
Have wanted a set of these Blitzen wheels for a while and managed to find a set of 4 for a bargain £130.After reading some very mixed reviews about this company I thought I would take a chance at £20 per wheel so I took them over to City powder coaters in Birmingham & I highly recommend them.

They do any repairs (minor ones to the rims on mine,usual kerb scuffs) chemist strip,powder coat in any colour,although fancy colours are extra but not a lot,then lacquered.£20 without tyres & £30 to remove tyres & refit after. I had a meeting in Brum last week so I dropped them off (Tuesday)& they txt me this Tuesday to say they were ready.They are 75 miles away from me and I thought about getting them couriered back to me but I was off yesterday so went to fetch them which took me 3.5 hours and cost me about £13 in diesel in my 207 hdi.I got some sexy Yokos waiting to go on & the garage in the village where I live fits tyres for £5 so I am a very happy bunny at the mo.

Just asking as I have a set needs doing, and I'm up visiting every couple of months. I've actually been a (unpaid) member of BBS for years!

I have an issue with powder coating. If its rushed, i.e. oven temp is too high - usually because jobs are rushed to get through more in a day, it can affect light weight wheels, ending in them cracking and then falling apart. i have seen quite a few of these horror stories and it's really put me off. I'll stick to painthttps://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4f72087a6f.jpg
