It won't let me PM you here, so can you either PM me if you're able to or email me? s351speedster@yahoo.com Thanks. ttgxc 03-02-2008, 03:37 PM joe johnson 3174302830 or 3174020107 (after hours) centralindianaawrs@yahoo.com Thanks, do you know how much they charge per wheel? typeS4 03-03-2008, 11:17 AM No clue. It's just what Dreyer gave me, they saw one of my wheels that had the slightest bit of curbrash when I was looking at a ZHP and gave me that card. ttgxc 03-03-2008, 11:48 AM I just called and they said it would be approximately $120 per wheel. typeS4 03-03-2008, 12:09 PM Sounds like quite a bit to me. ttgxc 03-09-2008, 11:38 PM Has anyone used Engineered Wheel Repair? http://ewrindy.net/home My rims are peeling, I like them and they have new tires that I just put on last year. I would think there would be a cheaper reputable place out there. ttgxc 03-09-2008, 11:43 PM I also found this powder coating place: http://www.indypowdercoating.com/index.php?P=aboutus what's the difference vs painting? I have Style 32's that I want to look like the original alloy finish. ttgxc 03-10-2008, 11:40 AM bump HoosierHodge 03-10-2008, 08:40 PM Powder-coating is kind of like a type of paint. It involves melting pellets of plastic and spraying the material very thinly on the wheel. Depending on what you're comparing it too, it outlasts many other types of paint (i.e. spray paint). If you're wanting to stick to the original alloy finish though, I would try something other than powder coat. I would be interested in knowing what the factory coating(s) consist of on these wheels. This company's website has some decent information on powder coating: http://www.plasticoating.com/index.htm (http://www.plasticoating.com/index.htm) Here is a DIY that you can use as a reference in figuring out what might work for you: http://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/949926.phtml Good luck. |
