E12 Silver Corolla - Alloy Wheel Colour Change

[jono987]

Hey everyone.

I am currently in the process of getting my alloys refurbed, and i fancy a change of colour, however im not sure which colour to go for.

I dont think they actually look bad at all in their current colour, but i fancy a change seen as i am having them refurbed anyways.

Was just wondering on peoples thoughts, and if anyone has the same colour corolla can you show me your wheels?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

Looks good.

Can I ask where you got them done and how long did it take /cost.

I enquired a with a local place and they said £50 per wheel to refurbish my original Toyotas, but need them for a week ! as they have to send them to a place in Manchester.

Probably cheaper to buy new alloys ??

Hi mate, the wheels cost £100 so 25 per wheel. A young local lad has just started up in my village. I had the wheels and some minor bodywork repaired. Took the car in at 9am it was ready at 3pm.

Hi,

Wow, thats a good price, though wonder if yours were more just a re paint rather than a full refurb as mine would need , rim scuffs and bubbling around the wheel nuts.

Am actually in yorks these days( long story)  ,  so could I ask for a contact name/number for that guy ?

thanks

Mine were scuffed in some places, but to be honest not as bad as i thought they were.

You can see my car on there :P

£25 a corner is a brilliant price. I got quoted £50 as well to get mine resprayed.
