Just thought i would post up some pics of the wheels i bought about two weeks back and ask if anyone else has these on their compact. Well I bought these wheels off ebay for abit too much maybe £30-£50 pounds too much and they looked like this ....
The wheel pictured there was probably the worst, I then set about trying to follow polishing guides on the internet which didnt really end well. Dont really have any pics of the failed endevour. I then followed a tip from one of my "friends" who said that i should get the wheels sand blasted . BIG mistake as they came back looking like .....
After this debacle and talking to a professional polisher i had to take the wheels apart and tear my knuckles and fingers into bits of meat. In the process i snapped one bolt on the wheels . Have no pics of them separated but i then sent the rims to be polished professionally who charged me £70 for all four. For anyone in the UK or specifically the Midlands they were sent to
Rainbow Polishing only two guys but very very good at what they do.
The centres then went to be powder coated in bright silver which i was charged £60 for which wasn’t that bad really for all four. Again for UK people it was City Powder Coaters in Birmingham. I shall take pics of the centres today and post them up . Now im just waiting for the rims to come back and then i can put the wheels back together again .Just thought i would put some info up here as i usually just browse through . If anyone does want to know more just ask
If anyone has these on their car i would love to see pictures
