jbrunouk Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Guys and girls... I have just bought these wheels they are vertini hennessy 20" and as you can see from the pics they have some serious corrosion issues. I bought them as love the stainless lip and look... but i do not know how the heck they could corrode this bad. Wondering if they can be refurbished fully to look same and can the stainless steel lip be cured of some road rash and scuffing?? I am based in west london area and wonder if anyones knows who can get these back to pristine and rough idea how much? Cant wait to get these fitted to my roadster.. Ideas? Quote
KosmiK Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Here's some pics of my refurb of the same wheels, to give you some idea of what's possible. Couldn't get the lip diamond cut as they weren't straight enough, and I didn't fancy the maintenance on polished lips, so its a straight forward powder coat job. http://www.350z-uk.c...s/#entry1378644 Quote

jbrunouk Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Read your post and i really dont mind taking care of the polished lip... i read about getting them laquered... but chips and wanter ingress is a worry. But i do like the wheels unpainted... So refurbishing back to original would be best. I have no idea who would do it in west london.. or the cost. Quote

Well, either I can see into the future, or this is a repeated thread. I feel like we had a thread with the same pictures and some members suggesting hydrodipping and I replied to and suggested powdercoating with a shadow chrome dish. I didn't dream it all did I? Quote

veilside z Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Spit and polish do it and re-cut diamond lip. Quote
