Mariusz Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I bought my supra and it is great apart from the wheels! Its got some real nice 18" split rims that i would love to keep.They are pretty worn! I took the car to romax in teesside (north east) and he would not touch them. Can someone help me out please.

mwilkinson Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I have a set of split rims which when I first bought my car I wanted refurbed as they are/were expensive Rays Eng. wheels. unfortunately the cost of refurbing is very high and there is no guarantee that at the end the wheels will be usable due to balance etc... In the end I opted to buy new wheels (Not as much as you think when your potentially looking at £200 a wheel for refurb!!) Have you tried contacting Envy as they use to do this?

Mariusz Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks guys i will try envy.. but i heard they wont do refurbs anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks guys i will try envy.. but i heard they wont do refurbs anymore? We don't sorry. If Romax won't touch them then you've got problems because they are very good! Ga.z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariusz Posted March 22, 2008 Author Share Posted March 22, 2008 We don't sorry. If Romax won't touch them then you've got problems because they are very good! Ga.z Would it be possible to simpy sandblast them then and get them sprayed? then polish the rim without a full refurb and look good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Give me 5 mins & I'll post the pictures up. I believe Romax won't touch split rim regardless of condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I think they are a very smart wheel, with a bit of hard work they would look stunning on your car, I think back to the results Hodge got with his, I'd def drop him a PM to ask his opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwilkinson Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Mine are chrome plated and although not as bad as yours they are a real let down. Basically I know how you feel, great car, crap wheels. But as Jevansio said they are a nice set of wheels and maybe a cleanup and repaint would do the trick!? I have to confess I have bought a set of Ultralite wheels, by no means the best but a vast improvement over the Sebring wheels I currently have!! I just have not got round to fitting them yet...doh!!
