p111ddy Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 Im looking at getting my alloys refubed but im still slightly unsure what to do? i.e Keep them the same just cleaned up as new or keep the polished lip and get the spoke's and outer circle changed to black? One main question i have is with my alloys being two piece if i remove one stud and replace it before taking the next one out will this cause a problem? Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p111ddy Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 Still unsure but im swaying towards darker reds similer to the likes of peugeot's old diablo red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 been thinking of doing same as mines red, with dark window tints black spokes would look neat if your keeping the polished lip Lxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p111ddy Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Doe's anyone know if I take a stud out at a time of my two piece alloy will this effect it at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p111ddy Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Would it cause me to break a seal on the inside as there a split rim & give problems down the line with say slow punchers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Would it cause me to break a seal on the inside as there a split rim & give problems down the line with say slow punchers? shouldn't do mate, I did the same thing with my old 3-piece wheels before I eventually refurbed them fully, and I didn't have any problems, and seeing as yours are 2 piece then you really wont have any problems because the rim should be one piece anyway.

p111ddy Posted November 25, 2007 Author Share Posted November 25, 2007 Thanks Garfy;) Anyone know where these studs can be bought from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Garfy Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I struggled with that when I did mine, and when I did find some they were £2 each, so I just got mine re-chromed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how much did it cost to get them re-chromed if you dont mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how much did it cost to get them re-chromed if you dont mind? I was a bit lucky there, I knew a metal worker that managed to get them done for nothing. I'm not sure I would advise you do that though, because mine started to rust again very quickly, if you can afford it I would say go for new bolts, or maybe get yours powdercoated black or something? have you found a powdercoater for the spoke parts yet? the one I used only charged me £110 for all 4.
