Polished NB8B wheels ??

Postby KAM » Tue Sep 04, 2007 11:38 am

Has anbody had their NB8B wheels polished :?:
Any photos of polished NB8B wheels :?:

I have a flat spot on one of my wheels :evil: and had been looking for new wheels to replace the original NB8B wheels but haven't found anything I like.

So I have decided to get my wheels repaired and as 3 of them have gutter rash I am considering getting them polished instead of repainting them.

Is the casting of high enough quality to allow them to be polished :?:

Can anyone recommend somwhere in Brisbane to get it done :?:

Yes, but they look a touch ho-hum IMO and I don't think it will be cheap.

2 places on the coast to use

Dr Wheels
U7/ 7 Distribution Ave Molendinar 4214
(07) 5597 5461

Does excellent (and I mean excellent) rim work, cannot paint though.


For Wheel Painting go here

Depulu Wheel Reconditioners
U 7/ 13 Dominions Rd Ashmore 4214
(07) 5597 3891

Give either of them a call if you wish to polish and get a ballpark.

SPy
Went for a drive and there were slow cars everywhere, why are NC's so common . . . must be NC = Normally Cardiganed.
