I've had the S60 for exactly one year this week & ever since it arrived the 18" BBS alloys have been on my 'To Do' list.
The alloys have been refurbed on the cheap side in the past and they have definitely not been looked after, paint lifting/chips and possibly the worse curb rash I've ever had on a car. This is the sorry state they're in now:
The company I've decided to use are AutoExpert based in Blackpool, not the cheapest at £100 per corner - but the owner has described every step of the process including splitting the rims, acid stripping, blasting, cleaning the threads and polishing the titanium bolts before the powder coat refurb.
I was shown a Mercedes alloy wheel which has been 'chrome' effect powder coated and it looked stunning without being too bling:
I'll be having mine refurbed with this chrome effect finish.
Well, the wheels are now off the car and it now sits on these shiny new Sealey Axle Stands - chromed too !!
Whilst the wheels are away, I thought I'd give the calipers a little make-over...
Wheels are being dropped off tomorrow morning....fingers crossed I'll get them back mid next week....
