Hi there, I have a bit of a dilemma, and could do with some advice. I recently bought a UK Supra 3.0 Pro for a good price however the front two 2 wheels are curbed / road rash. I've got 3 options, Replace with new, refurbish if possible to OE spec or refurbish eg powdercoat but all one colour eh grey or black.
I'm open to all 3 options and don't mind the OE spec wheel finish, but can the 19 inch black and chrome alloys be refurbished to the original finish black and chrome ? I assume not ? as it would appear genuine chrome as opposed to a chrome finish paint so would need actual re-plating I guess?
If I go down the route of powder coating does anyone know if the black and chrome is stripped off prior to power coating or over sprayed? Powder coating all 4 wheels to match is around £400.
My final option is to buy 2 new front genuine replacements which are currently at a promotional discount price of £600 for both including P&P from a Toyota dealer on Ebay, I could then possibly sell the two kerbed wheels for spare and reduce the purchase cost.
All ideas and advice appreciated,
