as plenty of you guys/girls know, some fanny pulled out from a t-junction and t-boned last tuesday morning. now im awaiting confirmation from my insurers when hes basically gonna cough up, it got me thinking.

i wanna get my wheels refurbed at the same time. 5 week pay month so could probably scrap the money together.

wheels are 17" p1 oz-racing alloys, genuine article prodrive jobbies. rung up jase at scoobybits who remommends a lady in barnsley who charges approx. £40+v.a.t. per wheel.

2 questions...

- is this a good price, as i have seen her work in the flesh on jase's yellow type-r,

- where can i get a set of replacement oz-racing stickers (in white) to put on after refurbing/re-spraying has been done.

its the stickers i mainly want, so the wheels still look uber

cheers for any help

If you can't find original stickers, any vinyl place should be able to knock them up for you.

would they use a different material, say more hard wearing from things like brake dust or wheel cleaner. thats what i was worried about.

ive tried prodrive, subaru, oz-wheels, oz-racing, ebay... no luck anywhere. i dont even mind paying a premuim for originals, even good strong copies

Someone sells them on P1 owners club in both black and white. Think they were £10 for a set of eight.

To be honest £40 is a good price but are they just being resprayed?

Mine cost £80 per wheel but the tyres where removed, rims bead blasted, dings and scuffs filled etc, checked for crack, buckles and then multi layer re-coated then tyres on and re-balanced.


There in "View My Scoob". They were pretty badly scuffed etc but they are OE PPF7's so where worth it.

Blue Dragoon, where was it you got your's done??

yeah i believe it includes everything. £40+ v.a.t. pre wheel, so approx £200 for all 4. gonna ask the questions next friday anyway.

Hello Andy, I was at Brian Nimmo's Body Repairs last week picking up the lad's car, and there was a guy there with a white Evo6. We got talking and he told me he'd just had HIS wheels done by a bloke in Scunny, Wheel Doctor, IIRC. THEY were OZ. The bloke had done them a different colour for him, replaced all lettering, and even adjusted the level of "chroming" to his spec, as they were that dark grey shiny effect. They looked brand new, and the whole job was done for £35 per wheel, picked up and delivered back.

He had even been invited to go and see the "chroming" being done, so that he could spec what level.

HTH, Alcazar

brian nimmo, ive heard the name. i know of nismo body repairers near the bowling alley, but not sure where the latter is. i think i know the evo your on about. no. playe wasnt a private one by any chance was it? L*SRT?

£35 seems cheap, what was the work like. were the wheels sprayed or powder coated? not sure on the difference. all i want mine doing is the same as now, just nice and shiney with new stickers.

Hello Andy, yes the Evo was on a private plate.

Dunno if they were painted, coated or what, but they looked brand new, stickers and all. £35 was maybe as he and a mate went together, and had 8 wheels done, so discount?

Yes, Nimmo is near the bowling alley, prob the best bodyshop in town, not counting MSM at Winterton, but they are WAY dear

Alcazar

Spoke to the guy this am, with a view to getting a price for my lad's Saxo wheels. It's £40 per wheel if you take him the car/wheels&tyres, and £35 per wheel if you take bare wheels, no tyres.

Any colour.

Ive used both of these:

TJ. Wheels LTD.

About Lap-Tab

both bead blast & fill ...& then powder coat, all for £35-40 plus vat

TJ Wheels have a massive range of colours too & so are able to colour match perfectly ...id say £80 a wheel is a bit steep (my local tyre fitters removed my tyres for free & fitted them all again for a tenner!) ...unless they were egg shaped!

thanks for that. gonna speak to jason on friday and see what he says. for the sake of ease, if this womans as good as he says she is, il leave my car there and the wheels can at least get done while the cars away. only problem with having the car in scunny is another mode of transport while the wheels would be gone. in the situation i face now my insurers will be claiming back expenses for the hire car off his insurance so i have no transport worries. not just me either as id use my push bike. the mrs needs transport am and pm too so its a bugger really

turbotimmy

do they refurb the centre caps aswell as ive got the same wheels and mine are a bit shoddy, if not, anyone know where ya can get replacements?

your local subaru dealer can order them (£4.50-£5 each )
or any alloywheel sellers and your local halfords as well but it will be cheaper at Subaru dealer
the others charge £9 + each !
