Anthracite Wheels

Post by NeilMcConville »

Go for it yes or no?

Does that include a strip/refit of tyres and re-balancing afterwards?

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 8)

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

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.

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
