They have been refurbished for the second time after my dear girlfriend went on a kerbing frenzy, she even popped the tyres....

It just goes to show that icy roads, dodging parked cars and applying lipstick just does'nt go together !!!!

Dan you indeed are the (strange) man!

Top looking rims though!

If you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for the refurb as my own speedlines have seen better days despite spending 2 hours cleaning them today.

Dan,

Where did you get them done? Local I hope!

I was thinking of getting my P1 wheels re-done, but I don't have a spare set of wheels!

Question

Dan,

Did you get your wheels powder coated or painted and lacquered? My Koseis are needing done after the fallout from my Prodrive Alcons and I thought that powder coating was the way to go but one refurbisher (who does a great job, it has to be said) recommends that they be powder coat primed and then painted and lacquered while another says powder colour coat as well. Now I can't make up my mind

Raymond.

Andy W: They cost £35 + VAT each for an acid bath, re-machine, paint & bake. And after that they look like new.

Andy T: I go to Lepsons in Gillingham (Kent) but there are a couple of places in W-London that do them, if you need to borrow my spare set of 15" wheels/tyres then feel free, that way you can drop yours off for a while, its no bother.

Raymond: No idea what process they use, Lepsons have a big spray shop, but I didnt ask what paint/powder they used, but they look fantastic regardless.....

Nice wheels Dan. Are they Safaris, as fitted on the series McRae? Do the 16" fit over Subaru 4 pot calipers? Cheers,
Mark
