How Do I Refurb My Is200 Standard Alloy Wheels?

[qaisser]

As most of us have experienced, or are experiencing, the standard Lexus IS200 five spoke alloy wheels are a fantastic look and design BUT quite often peel and scab away. They then look black and drishevelled!

I have a 2002 Gunetal Grey which is gorgeous but the flaking and blotched alloys let it down - makes it look older.

What is the best way to bring the alloys back to their former glory and that is cheap and quick to do?

Any suggestions please...

Try HERE.

You send him your old wheels, he will send you some refurbed ones.

you can also get DIY kits for about £15-£30 i think Halfords sell them or you can get them off the net just seach for DIY alloy refurb kits. there have also been a few threads on this subject in the wheels and tyres sections.

Are they the 17" 5 spokes with the Diamond Cut ? If so, no cheap way other than a full refurb or you could just

prep & spray over them, but you would lose the Diamond Cut Face
