Refurbed Alloys

[White Pugs 6]

Hello All,

 

Just thought i'd post a pic of my refurbed Superleggeras and my home made rattle can'd PTS centre caps...

 

Colour is Pearl Grey and they were done by CAS Coatings in Bradford at a quid an inch - Bargain.

 

Cheers

James

I've had several sets of wheels (& bike frames) done at CAS, usually a great job for a bargain price & a quick turn round.

 

Looking good James, see them on the car at Harewood hopefully in a couple of weeks time.

Looks nice Reminds me that i must get my backside in gear and get the Speedline Corse wheels, i've had in the garage for months now, stripped back ready for a refurb.

That's a bargain compared to what most places change these days, especially if the quality is as good as they look in the photo!

That's very good value. Even more so considering that's inside and out.

 

Was it a blast and powdercoating service? Do they fill any defects at all or is it only really for good condition wheels? A firm local to me are very good at what they do coating wise - but will only coat over a wheel after blasting with no actual refurbishment service offered which is a shame.

It really is, shot blasted & powder coated for £15 on a 15"rim.

 

They can spray a thick coat on some colours, on my bike frame I had to sand the paint on the headtube to get the gyro to fit over it last time but when I got it repsrayed late last year it fitted straight on with no problem.

 

 

Only £20 as well.

I paid £40 for a GTi6 inlet and the same not long after for a Caterham rear beam. Some places just appear to pull a price out of the air for random item opposed to working to a formula of area.

Take care when you go around quoating a Quid an inch!

Why? That's the price.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Here's mine.... with no paint on it!

 

They are costing slightly more than £15 a wheel!

They look naughty, but i wish they had a little more dish.

[welshpug 1,656]

I can get wheels done at £25 for a 15", same story just a blast and coat, they will file any sharp edges down if you want.

[allye 530 3 Cars]

They look amazing already! For a full crack check and special refurb for the mag wheels it's £70, each. Ouch. Will be worth it though!

Who is that with Ali? Steve @ TCPS by any chance?

[allye 530 3 Cars]

Yes ed! After your recommendation a while ago. top bloke he is!

[EdCherry 34 1 Cars]

Indeed he is, just sorted another three sets of wheels for me, bloody quick turn around and knows what hes doing!

 

Cant wait to see what yours come out like
