This
option does not involve splitting the rim and alloy centre but
fine grit blasting the wheel to bare metal to remove corrosion
from the chromed steel rim, repairing any kerb damage, filling
any areas where corrosion has been removed, applying the self-etching
primer which is baked in a low bake oven, and then the wheels
are flattened down to create a smooth surface. The wheels are
top coated and lacquered with a durable Polyurethane silver
coloured paint and clear coat. The result is a smooth, polished
finish which is durable, lasting for many years. These refurbished
wheels can only be distinguished from the original chromed rims
from a relatively close inspection.
It's not an original chrome finish but it looks very good. Also
at around £85 a wheel it's
an option that is very good value for money. See
our illustrated report with a link to the Solent Wheels website.
