Hi , My standard Tethys 17inch alloy wheels are looking pretty bad. (last owner must have been a curb lover).
Could anyone tell me where i could find a new set , even replica ones would do. I can find replica S60R ones , but since i've got a D5 , doesn't seem right to put those on. lol |

Marty, another option is to have your wheels refinished, chromed, powdercoated and clear coated, or polished. When they prepare your wheels for these processes they have to strip away the original finish. This will clean up curb rash, especially if you make them aware of your wishes before they start.

Here is one of my wheels after it was polished. Before, it had some pretty severe road rash around the edges, and a couple of scrapes on the spokes from pot holes.
Total cost for all 4 wheels....400 dollars U.S.

Those wheels look great comfortablypoor. A few months ago, someone posted a picture of a black S60R with factory body kit, black, loaded, and they had chrome pegs on it. Nearly all of them said it looked terrible.
Clash of personal style I guess, eh? I personally think it looks great. |
