I wanted to get the wheels done on the '43 and decided to take a risk. I went for a powder coat high polished finish.
I am so pleased with the result and they look stunning against the black bodywork. The.pic does not do them justice.
The firm that did them were The Wheel Specialists.
I have been thinking of giving into my OCD tendancies and have my lovely wheels refurbed. I have spoken to 3 or 4 firms but everyone keeps making caveats such as "it's hard to get the depth of shine they have the factory", "matching sterling silver is hard", "Don't paint them have them powder...
I have buckled rear wheels on my car, I've had the fronts done recently but it was £180 in total for both of them which looking at other places seemed slightly expensive, also they can't fit me in until next week, does anyone know any other places which do a good job in or near Surrey?.
Thought I would show you my wheels before and after.
They took around two weeks each , one at a time. They where in a bad way when I bought the car,
First they were stripped, sent to the powdercoaters who dipped and bathed them in a mild acid based liquid. Then baked. Followed by sand bast. I...
Just had my AMG wheels refurbed as original at Wheel Works in Crawley (£55 + Vat a corner). I also needed three new tyres. I bought the tyres from Camskills at a very good price and wheel works put them on, all balanced, at no extra charge saving me the price of having the tyres fitted. Worth...

I rang a local diesel mechanic the other day to get a quote to refurb the injectors in my C250. He returned at least £700 + vat. I told him i didnt want the gold plated ones just the standard would be fine, to which we both laughed.
Is it just me or does this seem completely over the top? Maybe...
