Powder Coated wheels

AlwynMike · 11-21-2012, 03:18 PM

In going for a "bling" look to my car, I want gloss black wheels.
Mark at BMAutosport has been very helpful, but has put me off my choice aftermarket wheels because I want to retain the option of using runflats.
The only other aftermarket options are beyond my chosen budget.

So the solution seems to be having my current wheels (193's) painted/coated.

Can anyone recommend a place vaguely Midlands/NorthWest that will do me a good job???

Can I assume that powder coating is the best way to go???

Thanks
Mike

I have to say my alloys in Basingstoke did a top job on my BBS BMW rims last year but not exactly local to you

That is what I like about this forum.
Very helpful forum members.
OP, hopefully you get what you are looking for.

Thanks Guys.

Going to meet someone today who is having his race car wheels powder coated - see who he recommends (he also runs an X5 and M3)
