Concept Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Looking into refurbing the Rays on the car I pick up 2moro, and as they are forged, is this a specialist job even if it's just light kerbing round the lip? Contemplating a colour change to Quote
GMballistic Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Any good wheel specialist should be able to do it no problem and a colour change is what a lot of people have done. Lot's of threads about this. Some colour ideas; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/45541-rays-alloys-refurb-colour/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/63802-rays-refurbed-in-bronze/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/73297-rays-wheel-refurbpaint/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/69185-another-rays-refurb-idea-thread/ Quote
Concept Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 A mate of mine runs a body shop and has refurbed our Q7 wheels, and does all the local garages, but wondered if the forged rims would pose him a problem? Will look through those threads. Cheers Quote
GMballistic Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Loads more threads than that about refurbing Rays alloys on here.

I want a gunmetal or anthracite finish tho You're probably looking at more like £250-350 odd from a decent wheel specialist. Unless like Zhorno you can get mates rates. Quote
