Hi,

Can people let me know what alloys supplierrs in teh UK are good for subaru? i bought some recently and didnt like them on the car. now im either going to buy white rims or powder coat my currrent ones.

Have you any links, photos for suppliers or rims that will fit the brembo calipers please?

Also where can i get wheels pwdercoated or repainted in central or glasgow?

Wheres a decent paintshop as well?

Every night on the way home I pass one of those trailers that are parked in a farmers field next to the motorway - this particular one is jst as you approach Junction 4 (Bathgate/Whitburn) from the Glasgow direction, on the M8.

I can't mind all the details but the company name is, i think, RM Coatings and the whole advert is about repairing/refurbishing alloy wheels. It's an 01506 number (again - i think).

Might be worth a look next time your passing. Never used them, only noticed the advert.

Only company i have used is up outside Dundee (Carnoustie?) - Coatech, Ewan is the guy - 01241 854 911. Dougster gave me the contact details and the wheel he done for me came back minted. Think it was 50 notes and that included the delivery back down to me via courier.

Cast yer peepers over these honeys by rays, the people who make gramlights and the other Jap ones you lust over.

 

And they are white.

An offset of ?? as well so should go over the brembos no problemo.

For powder coating i used "Auto-Image" on Gt Western Road up near St George's Cross..0141 333 0575..

I was £160 for the 4 wheels going from Gold to Anthracite, job is perfect and they gave me loan wheels to keep me going for the 3 days they had mine....

Only thing i would say is if you phone and they say they will call you back don't bank on it! I phoned them for some tyre prices (about 2months after powder coating) and never heard back, was pretty peeved!

Thanks for the links and advice everyone. the first ones callum say they have 5 studs then the details say 4. then you have the 17" real ones but cost 1200quid without tyres, now thats special but pricey pricey

could get mine powedercoated white

[st3ph3n]

You get get them powder coated white in the finest columbian marching powder for less than the rays wheels.

Have to agree with Ricey , had my rims de -blinged in a day , top job ,top bloke. White wheels on a blue  newage Scoob, now that would be different.IMHO

A bit handier, ESP Powder coating 30 Stronend St Glasgow, 336-3800, ask for Trevor. Premises are Tatty while the New ones are being readied in Yorkhill. But fine job (probably where the likes of Auto-image etc sub contract too)
