Alloy wheels respray group buy, manchester area
 

I've just hooked up with a chap that has a business doing resprays on everything that can be.
He did a lad at works OZ SUPERTOURISMOS, and very nice they were too :)
So, after phoning and having a chat, he's going to be getting back to me with prices for spraying my OZ SUPERLEGGERAS, which are a bit worse for wear after 80k+ miles.
The full price at the moment is £25 per wheel, with lacquering £10 extra per wheel if you want it.
All colours, all finishes, as far as I'm aware.
He's contacting next week to give me prices for 5+ sets, 10 sets and 10+ sets of wheels
He will need to keep your wheels for a few days, as they have to go in the oven after blasting to properly cure, if you don't have any spares to put on while you wait, I've got some my02 17" standard gold alloys you can borrow in the meantime (yes, they will fit a classic) :)

So, who's up for this? He is based in whaley bridge by the way, so lets keep it local :)

1/ cw42 oz superleggereas 17"

I may have a set of merc wheels from my dad...
I`ll have to arrange axel stands or just to do 2 wheels at a time.

I have 1 wheel that needs doing....

How does that sound?

Willy

good enough for me m8, I'll repost when he gives me definate prices for bigger numbers.

1/ cw42 oz superleggereas 17"
2/ willy merc wheels * 4 16" silver, 1 my02 wrx 17" bronze/titanium colour

Its an 02 wrx 17" wheel in a bronze/titanium colour.. I may have a pair done so that they match colour.

Merc wheels are 16" silver.

Willy

Cheers CW.

What colour are you having them done in chris PINK

:eek2:

thanks andy, you know you'd be jeolous if I did :)

:nono:
a word of warning
If they are getting baked, make sure they DONT get acid bathed beforehand.

James

cheers james, I'll look into that.
chris.

Also.. powder coating is only a few pounds more per wheel but this is a good way to go for custom colours I suppose..

Chris,

I would be interested:
- 17" gold S202 alloys (forged) and / or
- 17" MY02 Sti wheels (currently gold but may choose anthracite)

Would need to check whether the process is any different for the forged wheels.

Simon

Cheers lippo, I'll be phoning the chap tomorrow, to see if he's got any prices yet.
Watch this space :)

chris.

I have got 8 alloys that need doing by the way...does he straighten and repair alloys aswell?

erm, thanks for that info catalunya, but if you read the thread heading, it says "manchester area" !
Bit far to go brum I'm afraid :)
chris.

No worries bud....just a thought they are excellent prices....can your matey match them?

I'll ask him, but to be honest, I'm not interested in sending or driving my wheels all the way to brum just to save a few quid. I'd rather get it done local, that way I've some comeback if anything is amiss.
If that place is closer to you catalunya, go with it m8, sounds like a steal :)

chris.

I have a set of ST2's which need a good refurb, does this guy refurb as well as paint ??
Spend a lot of time over in Altrincham so could drop into this GB :)

Cheers

Tim.

Yeah no worries mate its further than Manchester but 10 pickles a wheel 8 wheels 80 pickles.....
Is he powder coating or re-spraying? have you got a discounted rate yet ? coz if hes cheap enough I will go with him......does he do refurb ?

I've not had much luck getting in touch with him over the last few days. I'm still trying.
As soon as I do, I'll let you know details of discounts and whether he does refurb, which I'm sure he does.
wtf! :)

chris.

ok, got prices and info this morning:

for up to 25 wheels (individual) £25 each
over 25 wheels £20 each

extras:
laquer £10 per wheel
metallic £10 per wheel
unusual colours £negoitable

he doesn't do refurbs, he doesn't put the wheels anywhere near an acid bath. Shot blasted, baked, sprayed.
I'll hopefully be getting mine done at the end of the month, let me know if your interested.

chris. :)

So is it paint sprayed or powder coated (both spraying at the end of the day though one wet one dry)? I'm sure its powder coating coz if he is spraying and charging extra for laquer,mettalic,colours etc hes having a laugh.

Pickles is my local currency.....5 pickles to the gherkin.

powder coating.
you interested?
chris.

Those wheels for painting
 

£25 seems a bit steep for paint only..........................if you take it tp Precott Tyres in Merseyside J7 M62 they will do a full refurb inc paint and ANY clour u want inc metallics (gold, Anthracite etc) and any alloy welds for those who have unfortunately collided with the kerb :mad:

but for how much?

chris.

Thats the ticket! how much and can you get a discount on bulk I may even go for 12 wheels ! :o

Nice, try setting up a group buy and get my thread hijacked! :(
SCOOBYREED, SETUP YOUR OWN THREAD IF THE PLACE YOU KNOW IS SO GOOD :(

cheeky bugger!
chris.

You try and do these guys a favour and look what happens. Some people!

ah well, thats scoobynet for ya! :)

Don't you guys see what the point of a group buy is ? the whole point is getting a product or service for the cheapest possible price by using the bargaining tool of numbers. People throw in ideas everyone gets a good deal, the benefit is for the group.....
