Title: Refurbing Monza II
Post by: Leonpettit on July 04, 2013, 05:08:43 pm

Does anyone know of a alloy refurbing company that will paint the spokes silver and the inserts a dark colour?

If so, does anyone know a rough cost?

Weighing something up before I send some alloys back  :happy2:

If its hard wearing powdercoat you want then you won't be able to get the two tone finish. Will have to be paint... some wheel refurbishers also use paint but a bodyshop might be better. £200 is the norm for 4 wheels...17"/ 18".

Depends where you are?... if you give a location someone might have a recommendation ;)

I know you said painted, but I had mine redone (original diamond cut with black inners, like the MK6 GTI) by Platinum alloy wheels in Swindon. Came out really well and look perfect. Just got to look after them with a bit of wax now and again. I really thought hard about painted/ diamond cutting, but I think it takes something away if they aren't done as OEM.

I paid £380 for all four (took the wheels off myself - otherwise they will charge you £410)

Just had mine refurbed with hyper silver and black inserts as it was a lot cheaper than the polishing amd i didnt want to risk whiteworm again.

I think they look really good personally. Cost was 200 quid and i got a set of loan wheels aswell.

Impressed by that, that's some good masking up.

How long ago did you get them diamond cut..? How's the finish holding up..?

Had them done 2 months ago, still look as new.
Making sure I apply wax after every wash to help protect them (especially in winter)
