Zender wheels

My zenders are in need of refurbing, any one got any ideas on styles etc, also pics if any,
they will be on a daily driver so not sure if i want them polishing.



suggestions

 

Nice wheels! I'd get them refurbished as original, it would be better in the long run, styles chop and change but original wheels are always more desirable.

 

i might change the bolts to allen bolts.

 

i would get the surface polished, then have the inside of the wheel painted black.

 

again tho its a daily driver i dont want to spend 's on polishing the wheels for them to look ****e after the winter has been at them.

 

Agreed, i think they would look best original with fresh paint on them.

Or just with chrome bolts for a bit of bling!

 

cant you get them coated in clear laquer after polishing, aye it will be expensive, but they would look the muts nuts fo' shizzle.

 

Get em re-ferbed.Then buy some winter wheels.

 

the bolts are stuck in but you can remove them

 

yeah i have removed one to have a look. Winter wheels hmm i do have two gti's at the mo i could have a summer and a winter car

 

i had them on my 1st mk2, they look great polished!!

 

Polished wheels arent so bad if you can make the effort to clean them on a weekly basis

 

or you could just have them protected with Laquer, to save you time and hassle

 

any ideas on the cost of having them polished and laquered

 

unfortunatly i cant laquer them for at least another 3weeks until my UV setup comes, only UV laquer will ahdere to polished metal surfaces, Im not sure who else would offer this option as uv stuff is mainly used for car bumpers and panels.

looking at the damage on the one you've posted and the finish your after, id say your looking at about 250.

 

bargain.

 

what about a straight repair and paint job

 

your still looking at the same kind of money tbh, the reason why i say 250 to have them polished as well is, the 1st thing i do is strip the wheel, then take the damage out of it, then your left with a bare wheel, which if the alloy is in decent condition polishing it is easy, providing the studs come out.

In my opinion if they where my wheels, id have them put back to origional, that way you dont have to fanny about with polishing them every day of the week, just so they end up mullered at the end of the winter if these are your only wheels. It helps protect them and people pay more for origional wheels.
