Anthracite Wheels

Re: Anthracite Wheels
£220 for one of the alloys to be refurbed and then them all powder coated a titanium/anthracite colour?
Go for it yes or no?

Re: Anthracite Wheels
Does that include a strip/refit of tyres and re-balancing afterwards?

Re: Anthracite Wheels
Yeah all in!
Re: Anthracite Wheels
Sounds a pretty decent deal providing they do a good job. After months of scouting the best I could find local-ish to me and with a reputable company was £200 all in. £220 is about right! I'd go for it mate tbh

Re: Anthracite Wheels
If you live anywhere near the north there is a powdercoating company near me which charges between £1 (maybe £1.50 for anthracite) an inch, I had some done and the results were mint! Have to get the tyres split beforehand though for about £15

Hi Bettsy, can you remember the name of the place? I'm from up North and i've heard of this place before but never actually heard a name!bettsy93 wrote:If you live anywhere near the north there is a powdercoating company near me which charges between £1 (maybe £1.50 for anthracite) an inch, I had some done and the results were mint!

Re: Anthracite Wheels
Its called CAS Coatings, looks like a proper back street operation from the outside but they do great jobs for hardly anything cash wise. I had a set of TT comps refurbed (grinded) and powder coated gloss black for £68 ! Theres a tyre place nearby that will split the tyres off for £15 as well.

Re: Anthracite Wheels
Very nice
I'd say the colour I'm getting will be very similar to this, will have pictures up on tuesday afternoon, although the place is in the middle of nowhere so the car is gonna be covered in muck :L
