Oh, I saw a black frame there when I collected my wheels recently and it looked superb.

Changed the wheel colour on my old Vantage to darker pearlescent graphite grey.
Real depth in the paint.

Very nice, really looking forward to getting them done. Will really bring my Abarth back up to spec. Gonna go with darker colour on inner part of wheel and inside spokes and more silver colour with slight polished face. Basically copying the diamond cut look but in powder coated form.

Any suggestions closer to Leeds? I've been a complete and utter wkpuffin and have managed to kerb all 4 wheels on a car within a month of ownership.

Some of my Porsche wheels will need redoing soon and Tim said he could do a polished edge. Not sure about two tone powder coat though. I think not from discussions I've had.

As mentioned above, they just did the wheels on my Ginetta race car (they came in grey), pics here...

whats your mate called at Kwik-Fit ?

I've heard Yorvik can have a bit of a waiting list at times. However I've also heard bad things about Murton, although they came from my friend who works at Kwik-Fit. Something about a chemical clean they offer thatm does more long term damage than good.

I used Cas last month for these:



£60 later, '£1 per inch' silver:


Didn't pay for a cleared finish as I just used them as a sandblaster as I went over with solvent base and 2k clear at home for a better finish.

Looks a nice finish, I'll be paying them for the colour but will most likely clear them myself

£1 per inch is a great price I think

Cheers for the recommendation but I'm after someone who can strip the wheels back and respray them. Lexus won't give out the paintcode for my wheels and neither will BBS so I need a place that can get a close enough match and do all 4 wheels.

Well had my alloys done by Raw Wheels and I must say, they did an awesome job, way better than what I expected. Well worth the drive over from Leeds in my opinion.

Will get some photos on here ASAP.

As promised here are some photos of the finished alloys on my Abarth 500.

These are before, just in ordinary silver and looking a bit meh! Just in silver powder coated and poorly at that. Previous owner must have had them done using water based paint and paint was peeling and chipping.




These are photos of after Raw Wheels work their magic on them, hope you enjoy them. I went for a polished face and darker black colour inside the spokes and inner rim as well as the little detailing on the face of the alloy itself.

The workmanship and attention to detail is spot on, I couldn't believe these were the same alloys. I wanted it to resemble the looks of the diamond cut alloy, which they were originally and I aren't disappointed with it.

Certainly worth a visit if you nearby to York. This work took a day and half but was told with less complex design wheels can turn it around in a day.

Each wheel cost me £80.
