Lermy Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 yes that is very true, was more worried about snapping or de threading a bolt as there so expensive any whowheels are painted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatttty Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I was scared about building mine, the first time round things could not have gone worse... threaded barrells (needed helicoiling) and not enough sealant. Lived and learnt, second time round went like a dream. Rebuilt my one RM last night it 45 minutes.. record lol!Wheels look sweet! Personally would have split, but as you said its very scary!Top work Lermy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 yeah i would have liked to have spilt them but i would have ended up sending them away to be split then back to be put back together and its just more money which i could spend on other things for the car wasnt a problem masking them up did a good job though painting them was a bugger due to how deep and small the gaps in the spokes are but the finish is alooooot better than the powder coating was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted January 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 yup why the previous owner of the wheels had them powder coated i will never know the finish was crap and the center caps had been wet painted to match but the colour match was awful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nic78 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wheels are looking good, and I love your interior! What would you guys say is better, spray or powder coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted January 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 spray i would not get anything powder coated unless its not on show, so suspension wish bones etc, its never as shiny and sometimes the finish isnt as great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lermy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 cheers guys, ended up with a few slight runs in the spokes because they were such a buggar to get into but they flatted and polished out so all good and the colour is grigio silverstone found on ferraris thought be in keeping with the leather colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caryleighton Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Awesome! Was contemplating getting my starlites painted in an anthracite kinda colour, but didn't in the end. Good thing, cause I don't wanna be stealing your colour scheme haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 i wouldnt mind i think its hard to get a colour to go well with laser blue you have 4 options white silver black or anthracite well aside from my interior which goes really well but wouldnt do my wheels that colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
