Caractere Alloys - Opinion
« on: August 06, 2010, 10:07:19 pm »
Looking for your opinion on Caractere Alloys.

Seen the following http://www.rsdcars-uk.co.uk/acatalog/info_135.html

Have never heard any views on these, looking others opinions?

Had a set of Oettinger Alloys before, they were a solid strong alloy but with a flaw with the lacquer coating which would develope white worm and would never be the same.

Similiar to the Monza's coating flaw.

Was also told that the Oettinger polished rim didn't take to being powercoated if being refurbed.

they do look nice, but too similar to the mini cooper works alloys
