Decided it was time i sorted my wheels out as its the only thing bugging me about the car, curbed, chipped etc etc, not nice. I'm doing them one by one so i brought a 5th alloy of eBay so i don't have to roll around on my steel as i refurb them one by one.

This cost me £65 delivered, all straight and true, just tatty.

Sanded

Masked the inside up as i didn't want over-spray.

Primed

Painted, lacquer and polished.

3 more to go :(

Nice job,well done,looks very good!

Great DIY, what colour are they? Look a little darker than OEM.

Very well done ....looks awesome

Im using these, camera makes them seem a little darker than they are, outside they looks quite bright. Once they are all done in a month or so i shall put a pic up of them on the car.

That looks great.Well done:)

I,ve got 2 to do very soon :(

I think they look great for a diy job fella:)

Spot on I think, what did you do to the kerb marks? Fill them or just sand down?

All marks were removed using my air sander. Tomorrow I've got to take the next wheel off the car, remove the tyre so I can start on another. Then put that tyre onto the refurbed one, and so on. Long old process but its only costing me £30 in paints!

Look very good, is that etch primer on the left? Have found that etch primer works best as the first couple of coats on alloy

It's just standard grey primer. Get it through work for £1.90 per 500ml can.

I think they look great for a diy job fella:)

Agreed. Top work that man!

Excellent job! Well done.

You won't need etch primer if its not been sanded down to bare alloy.

Good job on that refurb, I recently did 2 of my zeniths, ages spent sanding but ok in the end.

Good job there, Looks nice

Did you do the inside rim separately or was it already in perfect condition as it looks very clean and un-marked in the after pic?

I might be having a go at doing mine soon before putting some winter tyres on them.

Great result that - well done. How are you swapping the tyres round, as you refurb each one? You got access to a tyre fitting machine as well?
