SHP Wheels refurbished

Post by JDSTAZ45 »

I decided to get my front set of 8" SHP refurbished. Instead of going for the grey centres, I went for black. I previously had bought a set of rear US Conquest wheels in 8" which had black centres.
So now they are matched up and will probably end up on the 2nd black widey!

They have been restored in a way where the outer lip is polished out and the centre painted and polished and finished off with 2pac clear coat. Nice outcome!

I've been umming and arring whether to buy a different set of wheels for my car (particularly my red GSR-V) but why bother when these wheels look great when restored :)
The red GSR-V will probably have grey centres though!

They look great!..I'm trying to find someone in Perth to do a similar job, but without any success..I want the same finish except graphite centres.

I had my widebody wheels refurbished after I got my car. I got it done at Mag It on the gold coast. Was totally worth it.

A good investment. Who did you end up using?

Nice SHP wheels Mal. IMO these are almost better than anything aftermarket.
Reduce fuel costs by 15-20% & cut emissions by 1/3rd...
Increase engine performance & prolong engine life...
How?

A pic of the refurbished wheels and fresh falken rubber on the car.
The wheels have been upgraded from the Jap spec widey wheels which were 16x7 +18 and 16x8 '0' offset. (Look on the skinny side).
New wheels are 16x8 +18 (225 50 16 front) and 16x8 -10 (245 45 16 rear).

Looking great, Mal. Who did you use to refurbish them? Cost?
