    wheel refurbishment

    ive just got a set of canisto alloys for my 850 ,and although it may need a little lowering now the wheels could do with a little tlc!! so is there any decent alloy people about or do you think i could do it myself?? theres only one wheel thats quite bad but they all need a little rub down and paint no major scuff or dings just a little scratched round the edges.


    full respray..plenty of body mods..comets..ray cat back noise pipe..decat and wrapped downpipe..me7 exhaust manifold..3" throttle body with ported inlet manifold..blue injectors..adjustable fuel reg..reverse intercooler pipework..19t..open cone air filter..255 fuel pump..m-r-p short shift..boost gauge..unknown remap..adjustable suspension..lightweight crank pulley..n/a cams..stripped out interior..and a heavy right foot

    there is more to wheel refurbishment than a rub down and spray mate, get them done properly for a long lasting finish, chad does them for £40 a wheel
