Sweet; Bede is coming to see me at some point anyways

I had Aidan @ Pine Engineering blast the crusty gold paint off, clean up outer lips & polish and fit new chrome valves.
nice guy to deal with, and happy to support his new business venture, and price was stomach-able.

Cant wait to get them home, painted and back on car.

you can see below what they look like (3 of 4 polished in photo)

Those are awesome, are you leaving the centres unpainted? Wonder what he'd charge to just polish some wheels, I've been thinking about getting the ones on the Z done.

he only paint wheels red, gold black or silver, hence why I had him blast them only
I am painting mine a gun metal grey colour to match my bullet mirrors & repainted grill etc when I can get them down

$70 per rim for polishing only, blasting, valves & painting over and above
