AW: [DML] Doing the sums on Don Steger's chrome wheels.

["Elvis Nocita" <elvisnocita@xxxxxx>]

I guess you don't know what kind of work it is to polish the wheels.
And painting a polished surface ??? How would this work ?


I have a shop here that powder coats my wheels for 50Euro each.
Indcluded is chemical removing the old paint, glas beading the surface
so the paint will stick better to it (!), then heat them up and powder
coat them with silver color and a clear coat.

That's 200Euro (almost same in $) alltogether.  Plus another 30-40 bucks
for mounting and balancing all four wheels.


And you said something about having your own new wheels machined on a
CNC machine ?
I know people who make that for BBS (yes, the company that makes the F1
wheels !)
and they would never sell them to a private person for street use ! NEVER !
Those are only test and design samples, absolutely illegal to use them - at
least here in Germany where TÜV rules the safety on the roads.

Which I think might be ironic, because chances are they polish them before
repainting them and selling them for less! - I could be wrong about the
process.
If the chrome is that important to you, and your pockets are deep go for it.
