Do them a diff colour and they might suit the car, at present though it looks tacky nigel

 

[Steve]

Nice rims actually, I think they would suit a dark bronze better.

Where are you getting them painted? Can you tell me how much it possible? I would like to get mine done, I just dont have the time to clean them properly because they are polished.

 

[Twain]

I had photoshop open, just thought id give you an idea of colour changes.

Not a fan of the blue , the bronze 'mugen' look is much nicer!

i got a set of buddy club p1,s from england off a honda website to get me by till my rages arrive and get re done , so i left them up to michael at polished alloys to get stuck in , i already had the paint and wanted them for the rms meet on sunday but unfortunately 3 of the 4 wheels wernt true due to silly low profiles by previous owners :-( and many a speed bump.. many thanks to michael for starting them but unfortunately he couldnt fix the dents , my boss is a good friend of jason up at nu luk and advised i take them there to be straightened and sorted in time for show ... i left them in with an urgent request yesterday at 7am and collected them at 1pm today , i was speechless to say the least .. my wheels where perfect in every way , thanks to jason and the boys for getting me sorted in such a short period of time this was above and beyond the call of duty .. i asked for pics because when people mention nu luk you get that oooo thats gona cost ooo theyre dear etc etc but i just thought id show why these guys are the best about with a story thread

michael had already stripped the paint and rubbed down a bit (thanks michael)

notice the untrue edge top left of wheel

wheels checked for alignment

wheels acid dipped

acid 50/50

fully acid dipped for 4 hours (this was only my wheels as all the paint was already off most wheels take 12 hours to fully remove all impurities)

then alu welding for any low spots

then turned in a lathe for truness

then blasted

then primered with powder coating

all four primered ready for paint

painting process ... now i supplied my own paint but they can make you just about any colour you want

painted wheel

then the finished result laquered and as good as new if not betteri was given a choice of matt soft sheen or high gloss finish

im over the moon to say the least not as exspensive as i thought tho every wheel size and finish is different .. but what isint different is the amount of time and expertise that goes into each wheel ... im not bum licking more just an insight and a thank you for helping me out in such short notice

i will post pics of them on the car tomo
