Default Wheel refurb

I'll be in Wicked Wheels in Crawley in the next few days.

They did my S2000 wheels in black and will do my M5 wheels in black chrome.

If anyone is interested in finishes and prices let me know by 9am tomorrow and I'll ask.

I appreciate you could phone yourself but I am having a helpful moment....

I need my 350z wheels doing, just a basic refurb from some kerbing. Front two are worse than the rears.

I'll ask them about matching shade etc

Currently a three day turnaround I understand

Are yours different from standard - there were Rays alloys or somesuch as an option on the Z weren't they?

3 days.. wow. they must be busy or dont do them on site
Spit and polish do them onsite all in the same day - and a cracking job too. Often a very long waiting list though, think i booked 6 weeks ahead

Pete,

I'd be interested in a price for MY04 standard 17's - some minor scuffage and could be tempted for a black chrome finish. . . .

Cheers

I always check my nuts after they have been touched by someone else

(and you don't think I am leaving the car with them do you? )

Rich and Dan - will report back later

Crap company name (I know, it's a franchise and they are stuck with it) but a very good company who really know what they are doing

They stripped, refinished and powdercoated Y1's wheels just before Christmas and did an excellent job at a sensible price.

They do some very tricky / interesting stuff - when I was last in there Roger showed me some huge wheels off a Lister Jag that needed some serious work since Tiff N. had hurled the car into the scenery!

I was briefly flirting with a black chrome finish (decided to stay OEM) and whilst was told it is very susceptible to chipping and revealing the black base coat.
