Niko Posted 12December, 2016 Report Share Posted 12December, 2016 I am hoping to get my wheels painted early in the new year. I really don't want to leave the car up on stands so I am wondering if anyone has a set of CAYMAN wheels with tyres that I can borrow while/when I get mine painted.I won't be driving the car so tyre condition is not a factor.Probably looking at getting them painted in the third or fourth week of January.Obviously I will come and pick them up and return them, when I get mine back on.I'm also hoping to have them off, painted and back on within a week.The closer to Carrum Downer the better, but happy to travel a bit.

Niko Posted 12December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12December, 2016 Not sure Lee, you could very well be right, I'm not flash on wheel sizes and stuff. I will do a bit more homework..Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozvino Posted 12December, 2016 Report Share Posted 12December, 2016 Nico, I have a spare set of 17 inch 928 wheels with tyres on them you are welcome to use - the stud pattern and size should be fine, they are cup 1s so I think they will clear the calipers - I will go check the sizes mid week (storage locker ) and let you know. You can use them as long as you need them - I'll meet you have way over a coffee, probably over the Xmas break if they will fitDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 12December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 12December, 2016 Thanks Dave and Rod, appreciate that. I might save you the trouble of going to the storage etc Dave, and borrow the Boxster ones from Rod. They should definitely go on I would think.Rod, if I could pm you during January and organise it then that would be great.thanks again gents.

Fraz Posted 13December, 2016 Report Share Posted 13December, 2016 If all else fails I have a set of D90s your welcome to borrow if they will fit, plus they would look a treat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted 13December, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 13December, 2016 Thanks Fraz, I have the Boxster set from Rod which will do the job, but again, thanks for the offer. Rocco,... I am going to get them done in the graphite black colour. There is a Porsche name for it, (which I can't remember off the top of my head) but it is the same as Chris's GT4 coloured wheels.Haven't gone into the how much and where and who yet, but will do that early new year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted 10January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Just made a few enquiries and have decided to go with a company called Advanced Alloy Wheels in Moorabbin.They actually take the car for three days. Remove the wheels, and tyres, clean the wheels repair if necessary (not in my case) Paint the wheels (powder coat) then replace tyres, re balance wheels and fit wheels back to car, with torque wrench and hand tightening.All for the grand sum of $260.00 per wheel.Pretty happy with that. Saves a lot of buggerising aroundThanks for the offer of help with the wheel swap Rod, but obviously I will be right now, also all the other offers of help, and also your input re a possible premises Fraz.as long as they look after the car and I'm sure they will, sounds like a great service.Booked in for 30th of Jan. Woo Hoooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woo Hoooooo. I was highly recommended to them by a friend in the trade so think you're onto a winner there Niko, usually around 400 a wheel for what you're having done and for repairing wheels as well I was told ... bet it makes your tooth feel better. and your knee. and your itchiness.

Niko Posted 10January, 2017 Author Report Share Posted 10January, 2017 Very good price Niko - and convenient. What are you doing with the plastic Centre caps? Do they paint them also?good question, I actually forgot to ask about them, but I'm thinking they should paint up ok around the emblem. Worse case scenario, I will buy a set from PCM in the colour that is a P wheel colour. Plus I will then get the coloured emblem with that set of caps.I was highly recommended to them by a friend in the trade so think you're onto a winner there Niko, usually around 400 a wheel for what you're having done and for repairing wheels as well I was told ... bet it makes your tooth feel better. and your knee. and your itchiness.
