My S class wheels were refurbished by the previous owner and pretty poorly. Just sanded back and re lacquered on three wheels. The fourth looks okay.
I can either get the three re cut or all four sprayed. Not sure I will like the look of sprayed wheels. The guy at the shop told me spraying is cheaper and lasts better. Just wondered what you guys think.
Thanks

It's been discussed a lot before, but the sad fact is that with diamond cut wheels, eventually the dreaded white worm will appear, normally from damage by kerbing or stone chips. I'm assuming your wheel guy meant powder coating when he said spraying: powder is the best alternative for longevity of finish and there are some excellent colours available now.
