how to referub 182 wheels

[retna]

Hi i want to buy some 182 alloys in athracite on ebay for 220 but are going to need some refurb, as its only scuff marks, is it possible to do some of this myself or will it look shite if i dont take it for a proper refurb

thanks for advice

It depends how good you are at prepping & spraying. If you're rubbish, get them done by a pro.

Buy some nicer ones ? I'm sure you could get some mint ones off here for about that price !

"Proper" refurb i.e.: weld/ blast + powdercoat will be ~£200.

220 seems steep unless it comes with brand new tyres? Link?

That what I thought but ebay seems to be the only place I can find them, what's a good price? I was looking to get some anthracite 182 wheels but didn't want to pay over 200

If you become a member you'll get full access to the forum including the marketplace and also be able to put a proper wanted thread up so people breaking their cars will be able to see you are in need of them mate

Will pay for it self in no time and is your best bet imo to get some alloys,

Some mint anthracite 182 alloys with nearly new Goodyear tyres sold a couple of weeks back for £250 posted so they do come up

There also a guide in the guide section on how to refurb alloys so you would be able to view that aswel

Thinking about it I think @George182 might have some?

last set i bought were £110, no tyres but wheels straight and only paint damage. dipped, quick flash over with garnet and then powder coated. coated up nicely.

Hard work on your own if you don't have access to a shot blaster.
