anthracite wheels on a silver 2?

Anonymous · May 10, 2006, 15:04

i'm having my wheels refurbished and i'm mulling over whether to have them done in anthracite or not.

does anybody have a picture of a silver 2 with anthracite wheels or can maybe photoshop one for me?

I've got a set of wheels away just now being recoated in high power silver for my silver car - a bit tamer than anthracite but I'l post pics on their return.

Cheers richie

When are you expecting to be able to pop the pictures up?

I expected my wheels back a week ago, but I think they still haven't been recoated yet.

I would like to think i'll have them in the next week or 2.

you should always tell them everything even if they do turn round and say they dont need to know that, the point is its their decision and not that your hiding something they may want to know

Have an alternative look I want to have when I find the spare time.

It's bright silver or chrome.

leon_in_uk · May 12, 2006, 15:37

ok, i want high powered silver. they look mint...

Do you think something like that will be nice on the 2 ?
They are "allesio spider" good quality alloys.

heathstimpson · May 17, 2006, 09:44

I certainly think multispokes look really good on the 2; Sean used to have some 17's on his s8)

Just out of interest I ordered my first warranty replacements - 5 week back order. Because he would only authorise 3 (the other was perfect, well it was on Monday s:roll: :roll: s:roll: ), and the guy admitted they had replaced some beyond warranty "as a gesture of goodwill". Might be worth a try, Heath.

I did ask after my last service and the manager said they are warrentied from 12months from fitting the replacement set even out of warrenty s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Nobody can source the High-Power silver paint I want for my wheels from any of the local suppliers. Does anybody on here have a clue where I might be able to source the paint?

leon_in_uk · June 9, 2006, 11:58

Hi guys having my wheels done on sunday.

im also thinking of getting anthracite....

he is mobile and doing for £35 per wheel. he is bringing different colours down for me to look at....

the only thing is, he can mix to anthracite withiout taking the wheel off!! can this be done to a proper job?

or if he can source many colours, what colour would be better then anthracite on a 2?

? how power silver?

markiii · June 9, 2006, 12:14

he is going to refurb your wheels with them still on teh car and still with the tyres on?

where do you find these people?

leon_in_uk · June 9, 2006, 12:23

no not on the car, just take the wheel of and do them in his van, he is a local car repair guy from tamworth...

what you think?

I'm confused?

leon_in_uk · June 9, 2006, 12:31

taking the tyre off i mean...

i do like the high powered silver tho...

markiii · June 9, 2006, 12:33

so he reckons he can refurb a wheel withouit taking off teh tyre?

why would you even want to do that? removing and remounting a tyre is piss easy.

it also guarantees he won't be baking the wheel to seal teh finish

personally I wouldn't

why not use KN in Telford they will do it properly and charge teh same amount

These mobile vans are all set up for the process.

They put the car on axel stands.

I suspect Leon didnt quite understand the whole process thats all.
