Lend me you Wheels!... Please
« on: April 29, 2014, 12:51:11 pm »
Hi Guys,

I'm having my wheels refurbished, and it just occurred to me I don't have any other so put on.

I don't particularly care what they are as long as they'll fit an 06 GTI.

I understand this is highly unlikely but anyone local to Chesterfield/Sheffield/Derby etc that could lend me a set for about 5 days would be amazing!

Thanks,

Curing time before the tyres go on is usually 36 hours, which in reality is 2 days as i can't collect them due to work etc.

I've got a set of SEAT Altea Wheels 16" sat in the garage as I changed them on my previous car to 17" FR wheels.
I'd be happy for for you to use them as long as I get them back! I think they need 2 tires though....
In Huddersfield. Might be a bit far for you

Why not just buy a cheap set of wheels on eBay with decent tyre's? Then sell them back on after you've used em.

As said buy a spare set...

Many powdercoating companies can offer wheel turnarounds in 8 hours.
However usual time is 2-3 days. I've never had a longer refurb aside from waiting for special paints to come on, the actual time painting is like 2 days.
