craggsy 91 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I love Borbet wheels..........had Borbet T on mine for a while Link to post Share on other sites
MiVdub 0 Posted January 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ben: I want to do that but I have the fear the paint will chip. The red that I have on the lips of my wheels now chips even though the paint shop who did it did it right. So, for anyone who has painted their rims tell me how to prevent chipping.

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 how did you get them done ? painted or powder coated ? Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 ah ok well get them powder coated mate it's a much tougher finish than paint Link to post Share on other sites
MiVdub 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I just realized I might not want to paint the wheels since I will be going to many track days and I seem to scratch my wheels each time. Also, I want peoples opinion on wheel companies. Obviously BBS, borbet and schmidt but are there smaller companies that you have found that you really liked. Link to post Share on other sites

J5KE F 0 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I like ur choice mate! Powder coated in satin black would be sweet! Bens the real wheel guru so I'd 'roll' with his suggestions Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 The big problem with alot of aftermarket alloys is there strength. Track action and pot holes in normal roads plas havoc with low profile tyres and wide, weak alloys. Love your choice but maybe consider nice strong ones for winter/track and a bling set for summer/shows. Link to post Share on other sites
