davis6110 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Ok i have been looking at refurbing my wheels and was planning on just repainting them matt black but then i came across this http://www.wickedcoatings.co.uk/ Some of you may have seen them at Japfest, They can basically dip anything in any colour / pattern you like, so i have been thinking maybe carbon dipped wheels would look good ? What do you think ? or should i just stick to matt black ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davis6110 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have been quoted £225 for all 4 19'' wheels, seems alot but the finish looks awesome i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I have been quoted £225 for all 4 19'' wheels, seems alot but the finish looks awesome i think £50 a wheel + vat a lot !!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davis6110 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 £50 a wheel + vat a lot !!!!!!! Yeah i suppose, when you think about it if they are refurbing them aswell then they may aswell be a brand new set of wheels which aint too bad for £225, its because im used to having a mate refurb my wheels for £20 per wheel haha, you forget the real cost of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Liking the look of those. Water transfer printing is very impressive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah cool, so you think these would look better than matt black ? also could you pm me where you got yours done or did you buy them carbon as i have seen few places that sell carbon coloured alloys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 They are on the car but wicked coatings do very good work and carbon wheels are pretty trick, I had some on a bike so these are pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra Gaz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 That's pretty damn cheap, I don't think it will cover repairing the wheels at all, I imagine for that price they just dip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah mine dont really need refurbing much anyway, theres no major curbing or anything on em its just the paint is worn and flaking off in places, i really like this and have never seen a car with carbon wheels so im seriously thinking about having this done, plus it will match my carbon bonnet, low spoiler and interior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattross1313 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 These guys are based a few villages over from me and have recently done work on my Supra and my misses Evo. Really good work, and very friendly guys too! Currently they have done the steut brace in my engine carbon but i am looking at getting a few more bits done. The evo now has carbon bonnet and spoiler blade, unless being really really close and fussy it looks the real deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra Gaz Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 It does look good, if you just need the wheels painting I would go for this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) do you have any photos handy bud? ive just noticed the crap at the bottom... We cannot guarantee that every surface on the item(s) that you wish us to dip will be coated during the dipping process. This may apply to more complex shapes with different curvatures and crevices. We will draw this to your attention before we start work on the item(s) and a new quotation will be given should it lengthen the process. If after consultation we dip your item but are not able to achieve the finish you require, we will re-paint your item(s) to a colour of your choice. In this case a charge will apply of which you will be advised. basically if they mess up its tough and you have to pay still and pay to have it repainted what a joke Edited May 14, 2012 by ashbuster (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
