Alloy wheel

charlie 22 · 17th May 2016, 18:17

Hi, all had my alloy wheels refurbished and very happy but they are a little flat in colour. Did the factory spec have more of a sparkle or is it the style of finish I picked.

Wow ! I managed to upload photos for the first time lol. I even splashed out on a full set of stainless steel wheel bolts and new tyres all round, plus a full wheel alignment. All this money I have just spent should mean I don't have to keep pumping up the tyers every other day lol. Next jobs to do is new center caps and refubished brakes with a fresh coat of yellow.

They look nice and have been done very well, there were 2 finishes if I recall, one was just silver and the other was silver sparkle - silver with metal flake.

Thanks for the nice comments, my originals were the silver sparkle then. Mental note when they need doing again ask for silver sparkle. I think the photo's came out ok using a smart phone?

Hi, hope you are sitting down for this :

Expensive but needed all done at the same time. Went for an evening drive for me well worth the money.

these cars deserve to have nice shiny wheels regardless how many tokens it costs

my wheels have been niggling at me since i bought the car (6 or so months) i was planning to have the Rover 16inch 7 spokes refurbed - and so was looking out for some wheels to run the car temporarily while these were done - however, i picked up four 17inch 5 spoke MG ZT 120 wheels, with 2 new tyres and 2 with a good few miles left on them - £50 if i picked them up last night, so i had to take them

i put the back wheels on tonight to see how they'd compare to the 16's

fills the arch better and just balances with the size of the body better - so i think i'll have these refurbed and on the car

i'll be around £40 + vat per wheel, + around £25 (for the four wheels) to remove then refit tyres and balance wheels ..

should have some tokens soon.....can't wait to see nice shiny rims on her

I'm not sure what finishes are available - i'd like the Silver Sparkle, to be honest nice new looking wheels in any finish of Silver looks Good
