Hello everyone, With all of this talk about machined wheels, chromed wheels, powdercoating and what so ever I was wondering... The picture of the Machined Wheels on a DeLorean (with cat underneath) in the Files-section looks absolutely fabulous! Can anyone tell me what this "machining" really is? My father has a blasting-company and is currently building a glass bead blasting installation, so I was wondering how our wheels would come out if I had them bead blasted and clearcoated. Would this be comparable, or am I looking at a completely different process here? As I understand this machining is done at DMC Houston, but since I live in the Netherlands I'm not easily pushed into shipping them my wheels, having them done and getting them shipped back. The cost would be quite high, but even worse; I wouldn't be able to drive my D for the time it takes to have them done plus shipped TWICE! That would easily add up to several weeks and I don't know if I can survive without driving it for that long ;-) Please clear this up for me. Thanks in advance, JAN van de Wouw Thinking Different...
