Wheel help !

[kookie]

Hey all,

I am thinking of getting my rims powdercoated gloss black for something different....now I've got a quote and all that stuff but the problem is they will need the wheels for 5 working days.

Obviously this creates a problem.....its pretty hard to drive with no wheels.

Anyone got any bright ideas (awaiting smart @rse responses) or spare wheels I could borrow for a week in canberra ???

[rogwick]

Lol, yes it can be difficult to drive with no wheels! Don't they offer loan wheels. The place that did mine offer some wheels to keep you mobile

I got 2 stock MPS6 rims with rubber but am in Sydney.

[Nirvandan]

I got spare set of stock MPS3 but im in Brisbane

Surely someone can lend you a set of wheels?...or loan a cheap car for 5 days?

[SarcasticOne]

not sure if nathan still has his old RX8 wheels sitting around, know he sold them to another member here, you might be able to have a loan of them for a few days?
else, try Blackbetty? she might have her stock 6MPS wheels...

Hey Kookie,

Whats doin? Been a while yeah

Where you getting your wheels done?

[kookie]

hey hama yeah mate whats doing ?

there is a place called AA sandblasting...original huh ! and a place called tai powder coating in queanbeyan.

read some good reviews on some mtb forums actually about the p.coating from that place.

[rogwick]

Have you looked at 2-pack painting mate instead of powdercoating?

[Hama3]

Ok, all good my friend........

I got my wheels done in Queanbeyan too, though I can't remember the name of the place. It's basically a massive tin shed & I think from memory he charged me around $60/wheel.....

The job was a 7.5/10 from what I remember

Good luck with tracking down some wheels bro.........

Hama sounds like wicked wheels.

Sorry Matt I dont have my stock rims, I got rid of them as soon as I could I hated them

what wheels you getting powder coated, dont you have nice aftermarket rims ?
