You're not willing to pay enough then.

What's wrong with the standard wheels ? FAR less hassle in the long run.

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

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.

They look cool as breasticles. My uncle does the old powder coating so I think I will consider that. I will check my nuts lol
