thewelsho Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Went to Chameleon in Renfrew to get all four wheels refurbed. Friendly guy, good service, great job. £200 for four wheels, tyres removed/replaced/balanced and done in one day.
brian_paterson Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Looking good mate, might need to think of getting mine done, or just get new ones? Brian

thewelsho Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 For future reference what colour are they done in exactly?Thanks guys, happy with the resutls to say the least. Colzo: I just asked for gold, that was it.He says he keeps a stock of gold specially for Subarus. I also asked for some sparkle to be added to the laquer as well.
ally-b Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Looks like a nice job [H] - and a good price for 'same-day' service . Did you mention SIDC ? [] BTW , I think Wullie said the colour he would use on my gold OZs was 'Regal' gold when I discussed refurbing them - these look like the same colour as mine . I only had one wee problem with the motorbike wheels they did for me . I knew that they couldn't balance bike wheels - car wheels are what they do -, and I'd to replace the bearings and bolt my discs back on anyway . But when I took them to the backdoor of my local m/bike shop to get the tyres seated and wheels balanced the mechanic noticed that car valves had been fitted . These have longer stems than motorcycle ones and can flex and even start splitting on a motorbike wheel . But they changed them , fitted the tyres and balanced the wheels gratis (it was lunchtime []) but I'll have to drop in to Chameleon and point out the difference , 'cos I didn't even notice till I was shown myself, so if fairness being a car wheel place they'd probably not know either.... so not really their fault IMHO . Anyway . . . are you going to make it along on Thursday night ? Al.
thewelsho Posted July 4, 2007 Author Posted July 4, 2007 Ally: Called up about the SIDC discount scheme they have, only the sticky says £35 per corner annd exrta £50 for same day whcih works out at £190, mines was £200 so still a good deal. But yeah, I mentiod it to him and he was aware of us. Thursday night? Have guests staying but hopefully make it along. Later, J.
scoobyiain Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Hope you polished them and put some wheel sealant on too.

Noticed the sparkle/metallic through the colour and thought that looked really good. [Y]
