Finally bought myself a set of VTR wheels with tyres for 85 + whatever he stings me for postage.

Sound like a good deal?


Also, I will be getting 'em done white.

Best to do them myself or send to be powder coated?

How much would powder coating cost?
How much should postage cost for the wheels?
What's the process for self-spraying?


Cheers

i paid £105 for the wheels, standard in good condition
postage would be £25 with DHL
i sprayed my wheels myself at about £35 for materials

would be better off sending them to be powder coated,theres a bloke on here that will do them for £110 i think without the tyres on

people charge around £25 for posting wheels

when i done mine i sanded right down to the bare metal and 3-4 coats of primer,3-4coats of paint and 3-4 coats of laquer,mine dont look to bad for 1st time

have a go at doing it yourself,costs roughly £30 for paint and stuff so way cheaper

And I guess, if I cock up, then I can send them away to be done right. :p

id never sprayed anythin other than a moped panal. as long as you prep it good and keep in a dust free place, it should turn out fine. the guide on here is excellent, if you use it and follow carefully, you cant go wrong

Awesome.

I hope this dude doesn't sting me over 25 for delivery.

I tried to sound as nice as possible in my message to him so he is reasonable. :p

I would take an eBay strike if you want to sell them to me at that now. :p
