Or we can supply/fit the newly powder coated parts etc

Takes approx 2 weeks to have powder coating completed as provider is very busy etc

Obviously "NO ITEMS WITH BEARINGS" , can be blasted/power coated but speak to us firstly,thanks

Sample photos now up

Thinking about doing the wheels, can the lips be polished and the whole rim (gold spokes and the lips) be powder coated

The whole thing can be powder coated but I advise against polishing the lip as ,without lacquer, lip will tarnish and if lacquered without primer, lacquer will fall of eventually as it wont really bond to shiny surface.This is same for all alloys ,thats why powder coating is better job really.I know the polished lip can be nice but not really do-able afterwards.I to have set same BBS alloys to get refurbed but think i will fully powder coat also.Check around as I am no expert on painting services etc.Other lads on here will have previous experience will wheel polishing

I think some UK lads polish the lip and use bee,s wax etc to protect but needs constant protection and brake dust etc will eat at rim.

Polished lips look well but are nightmare to keep looking well !

Thanks, I don’t really know what to do with them, I sanded the lips and repainted the spokes and then lacquered the whole wheel last year, the gold bits are still ok but the lips are looking poor.

Yes, as I said its near impossible to get lacquer to stick to shiny alloy.Best just to polish the alloy lip and keep it clean/protected with wax etc.Lots of wax.....

Full new stock just in today 30/11/2018 incl subframes, wishbones, anti roll bars etc And newly anodised bolts to suit.
