Joe Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 wheels where powder coated and centres sprayed to match. got them done at lap tab in birmingham. they did them in a day. they had an offer on 25% off cost £200 inc strip and refit tyresNow that is interesting...We rang laptab as they are local to us who refused to even try and do them because of the centre caps.Ended up taking them to by the Birmingham City ground to Sweeney Sherlock who did themLook good though mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breamy Posted March 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 for everyone asking about colour. origionally had them booked in for what laptab called anthricite/charcoal but when i got there it was darker than i wanted. this is what they call "metallic black"strange about them not wanting to do them because of the caps. i had 2 sets done while i was there both with center caps and no problems. his only problem was getting the jack under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breamy Posted March 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 The powdercoat is a smooth finish. looks just like the standard finish. think it depends where you get it done. also if you look in the top pic its shiney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
