Question: 18" Anthracite Spyders Makeover

[Darka]

Ok Guys Ive seen a motor I'm quite interested in having a look at.
One issue is that it has 18" Anthracite Spyders and I'm not a fan of the Anthracite finish.

Question: How expensive a job / is it possible ? to have the wheels refurbed to the normal silver colour.How much would one be expecting to pay for doing this. I guess its going to be a lot cheeper than sourcing some new silver ones from somewhere.

Cheers for any help / advice anyone can provide.

I'm sure there are a few people who would do you a swop, Anthracites are quite rare in relation to silver. Put an add on PH and I'm sure you could do a straight swop or maybe make a few quid .

It is possible. Budget around 200GBP and you will have your wheels with a finish better than new.

The good thing about having your own done is you know where the wheels have been and what the've seen in the way of previous refurnbishment.

West Yorks has several very good wheel refurbish/recoating establishments. Triple S powder coating in Bingley I think?? are a start.
