Powder coating
- Thread starter Grumps
- Start date
Because of the process they go through to get the finish they can't be touched up. That said I've had these on my daily car for 2 years and been careful so they're as good now as the day they were done.If he does Chrome @Mac Romans would he be able to repair the damaged rim? I'm ringing your dent man in the morning.
TWS do a drive in, drive out service in a day. They can do it in on day as being powder coated, they're properly cured as soon as they come out of the oven.
Had mine done there on Mac's recommendation. Took the wheels in,not the car and they were done in 3 days.
Not the cheapest but very pleased with the finish.
The thing I didn't like was when I collected them they told me the rears were buckled,thought they would have checked that first tbh and asked if I wanted to pay extra to correct them but they didn't.
So after I damaged one a few months after I took it back to get it redone and asked them to check if it was buckled. Turned out it was and it cost an extra £30 or £40 to sort it on top of the repaint.
So ask them to check them first if you use them Dave

Oh right, good tip mate thanks.
That's unfortunate. They picked up on my buckled wheels before they painted them so got them done in one go. I knew about two of them which was one of the reasons for getting them fixed but they noticed a third one buckled and told me about it and then repaired that one for free. Having them straightened added a day to the process though.

Here you go Sam.What colour are your wheels at the mo? Can you post up a pic of your car so i can visualise @Grumpy
I voted silver, however there is something off IMHO about those wheels on your car that would make me want to look for another model, maybe a staggered set two-tone BBS style.
That blue/tan combo is far too classy for those wheels...or maybe they're too big, I don't know. Either ways I'd look for a set like this one.
...they are BBS LM, in case you're interested.

Ahh yeah - ive voted grey. Think you should try a shadow chrome or anthracite. Mine are darkest anthracite and @pgunter has quite a light anthracite on ebee but maybe something inbetween...
@Grumpy Dave, I had mine done in Anthracite with a chrome dusting. You have seen them in the flesh so to speak. Best thing to do is to take your zed along to the wheel refurbishment place and ask them to bring some wheels out with different finishes on. That's how I did it with my zed. They are normally happy to do it.
