Yes Birmingham International. Ok, let's start a confirmed list: 1. Sarnie. 2. Choptop. put me and limiter to the list, also is it possible to give Adam any great value hotels in the area where he can crash at if he comes too

sorry guys I was called into work last minute on sunday and didnt see Pingus text till this morning Andy is not ill he is bluffin, real bad acting over the phone.... cough...splutter....splutter...oh im dying, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, you wuss

Stolen car then? No gixxer, nothing behind the forum name mate. That's number plate related..... I'll take it from that, that all of your car's off side mirrors are named the same. You should be honoured! The price of my car has just dropped now thanks H5

Will have to ask, cos I want the wheels on the car all year round and cos it has a deep dish probably best I get polish than laquer, however they said that I could have wet paint on it in shiney silver but then it needs laquer again, which means stone chips. why is it so hard to decide

Your 350z

No worries, hope they give you what you want. As for which finish, in theory, I would guess diamond cut then lacquered would give the easiest finish to look after, and it's only cleaning the lacquer. However, if anything goes wrong with the lacquer (corrosion etc) then that would look pretty bad pretty easily. Polished is a hard one to keep clean, maybe longer lasting. As for powder coating, check the link about the risks with loosening wheel bolts. Coloured lacquer could be , or if wrong be Decision time! What do they recommend? Do you know if metal mirror polish is a form of powder coating?

nice grant wow sucks for cannonball did they get their money back from the event?

Stolen car then?

No probs, not suppliers fault just my own to blame. Well wheels have been booked in, gonna cost me £265 all in which I thought was bloody good considering i was quoted £800 from another place The place am gonna use seem to have a really good rep cheers H5 for the link, gonna send wheels of and will get them back in 10 days. Cheers to Andy he is lendng me his spare wheels whilst I get my wheels done, will be done before london meet, all my exterior mods will be ddone by then to. everyone watch this space One thing though, because they are stripping the wheel rim only back to basic they asked me what finish I wanted, they gave me following options: diamond cut then laquered, metal polished mirror, or powdercoated and colour the laquer. Which one requires the less upkeep?

Just looked under mine, said sexy mo fo, guess its right

1. Sarnie. 2. Zedrush (Dependant on weekend, location is not a problem unless way up north) 3. Choptop 4. Adam Z1 Performance 5. Louis + Sarah (TBC as it could be a weekend i have the little one) 6. Andy (Dependant on weekend, location is not a problem) 7. H5 (Dependant on weekend, location is not a problem)

As I told you, the lips on Volks are anodized, the spokes are painted The ONLY thing you should use to clean any wheel, especially a Volk or any wheel with a polished lip, is soap and water and then followed up by general wax once a month or so. No chrome polish (they aren't chrome lips), not wheel cleaners, nothing but good old soap and water. I'd recommend calling some of the places mentioned in this post and inform them exactly the scenario and use their recommendations for best course of action Hi Adam thanks for that, not sure what to say I took it to two wheel specialists already and both said these are laquered, I also called the Volks suppliers in the UK and they said these are definatly laquered, but you are saying anodised are the wheels two piece wheels

Not sure what has happened, Big Phil has been really helpful as well as Andy, just need to get them sorted ASAP especially for the photos Louis

Spearment Rhinos are very friendly great place to stay

No not curbed them,infact never curbed any wheels Ive ever had touch wood. I washed them twice with Maguires NXT wheel polish (says anti corrosive) and this happened:

They are the GT-S 19inch, I hears that Volks were laquered not anodised

Do they guarentee their work mate?

Anyone know of any companies that refurb wheels split rim. I have looked around and the prices vary greatly. Performance Wheels Supplies: http://www.performancewheelsupplies.ltd.uk/ I called them up and they said for all four wheels £800, they said they send the wheels to Germany te be split, stripped of its laquer and paint, re powdered then relaquered like 6 times stronger than the wheels were standered then brought back. Dont mind paying £800 but other companies are charging £400 to £600 so dont want to go ahead and have that ripped of feeling. Can anyone recommend a good refurb place that guarentee their work

ha ha just put your details in the back of the daily sport. You may get guys ringing you up though if its heavy breathing dont worry it will either be Sl114 or Sarnie

Hmm, may need to pimp you out stew
