Ok. Just found my drift wheels Smile
But they are in need of a good refurb so was going to do that and paint them a nice lairy colour.
Was thinking either
Candy red
Bright fuscia
Or maybe ???
What's anybody think and more importantly can anybody recommend a reasonable powder coater???
Here's the wheels which are a bit **** but quite wide 8.5j and 9.5j x17" so hopefully they'll fit without too much hassle.

And here is the car if somebody could maybe Photoshop them for me???

Tbh Phil I don't know??
I'll see what they say. Or I'll look into getting them painted.
But I prefered the idea of powder as it should be harder and give a better finish???

I've called 2 places today and neither seemed phased by the colour.
Huge difference in cost tho
Place in Thornton Heath £45-£55 per wheel
Place in Wrsterham £80-£90 per wheel Sad

Phil could you ask your friend if he does wheels plz

Gord Wooooow the place near me is £160 for all 4 wheels

Thats worth the cost of a courier.
