smudgedon Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Saw that picture a few weeks ago and changed the colour to what I'm going to have Quote
smudgedon Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Dunno why it's changed the quality....but you get the idea Quote
HaydnH Posted October 26, 2012 Posted October 26, 2012 Dunno why it's changed the quality....but you get the idea Probably a lossy format like jpg. Google lossy vs lossless. Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted November 6, 2012 Author Posted November 6, 2012 Some quick snaps straight out of the boxes - proper photos will follow in a few days Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted December 14, 2012 Author Posted December 14, 2012 Quick bump on this - these are now sat on the shelf here ready to go Quote
Redcap Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Any chance these will come in Gloss Black? And or in 18's? Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 4, 2013 Author Posted January 4, 2013 These are not due in gloss black or 18" I am afraid Quote
Bockaaarck Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Very nice looking wheels, great to see some proper shots of them Ben Quote
akewt Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) They're beautiful wheels indeed. shame they don't come in gun metal or anthracite etc i know about powder coating. Edited January 21, 2013 by akewt Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 22, 2013 Author Posted January 22, 2013 Powder coating isn't advised, but painting is fine. Steelgrey is like a dark silver - works well with most colours Quote
roadtrip Posted January 22, 2013 Posted January 22, 2013 Powder coating isn't advised, but painting is fine. Why's that then? I thought as long as it was done properly then powder coating was fine and generally considered more hard wearing, have I got that wrong? Quote
ben@RARE RIMS Posted January 23, 2013 Author Posted January 23, 2013 It's just down to the temperatures used to cook the powder coating. A light weight wheel is heat treated in the manufacturing process, if you then bake the wheels at hundreds of degrees for a long while it effects the structure. Quote
