Just collected my wheels from the powder coating guy, very pleased with the finish/colour i chose.
Tyres fitted tomorrow.

The Veemanns are 8.5j & 9.5j which is half inch wider than the factory 326 wheels, I’ve got 235/35/19F and 265/30/19R tyres going on.
The powder coating place was in an old farm building round the back of beyond, well worth finding though as he refinished the wheels for £200 :o

Was that for just coating or any refurb done. Seems remarkably cheap for such a good looking result

How do you mean? That was for all 4 wheels to be stripped/blasted & coated in a colour of my choice :thumbsup:

Looking very nice indeed Rob 8) good to see my first set of Veemann wheels are still giving good service .

To be fair they were still in pretty good condition, the clear lacquer was just showing signs of weathering - i attempted to dress this up a little & that’s when it all went wrong :oops:

Am a bit disappointed, only two pics of fab rims

I look forward to when you’ll remedy that once you’re all rubbered up

Looking good Rob, do they offer a tyre removal/refit option or do they want bare wheels only?

Cheers, they do have a tyre machine but they’ve only just received it & the owner isn’t confident enough to offer the service yet!
They can get it done but it added £60 to the cost-I’ve found a local place that does removal/refitting/balancing for £10 a wheel, winner winner chicken dinner.

This place is only about an hour and 10 mins from me, so probably a lot less hassle than the place in Birmingham. More expensive, but probably worth it for the reduced travel time and general agro :thumbsup:
 
What colour are they Roberto?
They look very much like 'Orbit Grey' but difficult to tell on my cheapo PC monitor. :)
