Gold wheels for curvy
 
Anyone know a good place near london to powder coat my wheels gold? Or maybe white?
Can't find anything online.

Being perfectly honest, I think your wheels look better the colour they are now. Gold wheels always looks a bit gash and chavvy.

I like the gold rims.

If you are in west london way I have just used Slough Plastic Coaters in Colnbrook to do my frame and bits. I was planning on taking my rims down over the next couple of weeks. They did a great job. I havent checked prices for rims yet though.

Theres another bloke around the corner that will probably do it cheaper although they dont have shot blast facilities - it maybe a good option if you dont need this done.

I think the gold wheerls might go very nicely on your Cafe Racer.

Be very reminiscent of the Ducati 900SS. Classy.:cool:

Could be worse, you could be thinking of getting them done in purple.

Gold is stylish and refined Lozzo, particularily when offset with green and silver bodywork ;)

Thanks guys!
Yes Northwind, I agree gold is stylish in the right context. (I'm still harking on about gold wheels, 6 months later.

I will try sloughpowdercoating, thanks!
