You're not willing to pay enough then.
What's wrong with the standard wheels ? FAR less hassle in the long run.

Re: New wheels
Hello there
had my original steelies powder coated last year in off white, looks good against the bright orange:
Remember to 'check yer nuts' if you powder coat your wheels as the coating may affect how the bolts sit against the hub. I didn't and my wheel popped off on the Devon/cornwall boarder. Its good practice to check yer nuts on a regular basis anyway, so i carry a torque wrench as standard now.
ta for now

Re: New wheels
Had mine done in metalic silver £14 a wheel sand blasted then powder coated. Took ages one wheel off get sorted etc but worth it. always check your nuts, sound advice.
