Alloy Swap/recommendations

[Anonymous]

Had my Ruby Red RCZ now for 3 weeks and think it would look so much better with some black alloys. Is there a market for swapping out my existing silver 19" rims for a corresponding set of black ones?

Other options are to either have the existing rims powder coated for about £400 or buy a set of after-market rims and then sell my silver ones. Just not too sure what market (if any) there is for a set of second hand rims.

Another cheap option would be to plasti-dip your rims.
A search on this site will give you some experiences with this.

I've just bought a set of 4 Sortilege wheels in silver.
Just had all 4 powder coated matt black for £140.
Then had them heat resistant ceramic coated for £50.
Just got to get some tyres for them then I'll have a spare set.

£140 ??? I have just been quoted £100/wheel!

Well you know us northerners always get a bargain.

Obviously you've been down south too long.

Wash your mouth out! I've not stepped foot south of Birmingham for over two years!

£100/wheel was quoted by a company in Preston.
