andyvvc Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Im going to get my RAYS refurb'd soon. Fella from ChipsAway is coming out on Friday to assess the cost. Also hoping to get some scratches on the drivers side door and a dent fixed too. The same bloke sorted the rust spot at the front-tip of one of my wings months ago and did an excellent job. Hopefully this isn't gonna cost that much, maybe sub £250 if i can wangle it Has anyone had the standard 18" RAYS refurb'd in a different colour? I was thinking about a darker silver, or maybe anthracite so they stand out a little more from my silver Zed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 if chips away are anything like most of the other franchise people your looking at about £75 per wheel before tax. i did mine last week in satin black, used a powdercoater close to me and got it for £210.

Stew Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Try a search for the refurb. There is also a thread on my350z with loads of options but most are black with red stripe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 lots of people have done this, anthracite will look very I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 you can get a full wheel refurb for under £50 at national alloys I wouldn't be paying chipsaway that much http://www.nationalalloys.co.uk/prices.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyvvc Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 I think the bloke said 50 quid a wheel. Might have been 60. Full refurb in colour of my choice...anthracite sounds good tbh. I may be able to knock him down cost-wise. He's the local franchisee for ChipsAway, with a bit of luck the quote he gives me will be more of a guide price than set-in-stone. And with luck the scratches on the door can be polished out or touched up. Black RAYS sound too....common Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 a lot for the time your location plays a big part in the final cost. some areas are more expensive than others. BJV engineering are the cheapest i've come across, if you can be without wheels for a week and send them to them they'll do it for about £160. or i think £190 if you drive down for the day, but i worked out for me that with petrol etc it would cost more than going to my local place.

rawbhp Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 BJV did mine - RT your prices are spot on. Black Rays all the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyvvc Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 Booked for May 17th to have refurb done (decided on TVR dark anthracite colour which should suit the blade silver Zed). Also got the local dent repair guy coming over same day to sort drivers door dent out. Car should look good-as-new for the Wales run.....despite having 99764 miles on the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jme 350z Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 that sounds sweet i've been toying with the idea of doing that or going chrome/polished with black insides and black dimples but not sure!! (car is black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
