old octy alloys kicking about ???

JamesGarner · 03-10-2005, 10:42

mabie a stupid question but im hoping a midlands member might be able to lend a hand

thinking of getting my alloys powder coated (while i need a tyre replacement)
but they need the alloys for about a week
has anybody got anything that will fit onto an octy kicking about in a shed after an upgrade etc

dont matter if its steel wheels / hubcaps as long at it can clear the vrs discs

they might not even be used as i might get it done when im on holiday so they will just sit on the drive

was hoping i could borrow somthing

anybody ?

You should really post this in the For Sale section, but I'll answer anyway. Whereabouts are you? I'm having to do the same for my wheels, so maybe between us we can get enough wheels (I have 6 incl the ones on my car) to do them 4 in one go (instead of 2 times two).

Bengie has some Elegance alloys that will fit the VRS discs

yeah wasnt sure were to post

Was hoping to borrow rather than buy
and thought sombody local would be a lot easyer

im between leicester & Derby (ashby-de-la-zouch)

Got sombody who can apparently powdercoat for £25 per wheel

but need to give him the rims with out tyres fitted

You're a bit out of the way then, but £25 a wheel is a b-b-b-bargain.

How's about £28 per wheel in Burton, they will do 1 wheel at a time, keep the paint seperate specially for your wheels, any shade of silver you choose.....
I'm looking at a graphite grey re-furb in mind after the winter!! Kinda like brake dust grey so i dont have to wash them so often!!

Hi, just a thought but there is a set on e bay for about £150.00 you could always keep them as track day wheels.
