Question

Hi folks

Please could you help with the following questions I have 17" ST2 silver alloys with slight kerb damage to all 4 ( not my fault just goy the car (MY99 DBM))

1. can any one recommend somwhere that will sort me out (Midlands / Staffs if possible) ?
2. Any idea on cost ?
3. How long will it take ?
4. Should I get them finished in Silver or Gold. I like silver but the Gold ones look good too what do you think.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

I had my wheels done by Top Marques up here in Stoke (Fenton). Speak to Adam on 01782 749 007.

Are you along for the meet this Wednesday? I should be and Adam did my wheels anthracite. I think they look great with DBM

Chris.

I paid about £100 + VAT for all four wheels.

So that's

Remove tyres
Shot blast the gold paint off
Reprofile the edges to remove kerb marks
Paint / lacquor / baking
Refit tyres
Stick on my Car

Normally same day I think, although I had to wait for the anthracite paint to come in.

Hi Chris Just called Top Marques.... Under new ownership (bugger) but the bloke I spoke to sounded ok.

Quoted £140 + vat all in.

Nice pics and they do look smart, thanks for putting doubt in my mind
