R32 Mag Wheel Polishing

[sik32]

Hey everyone,

I am very dissapointed after spending the whole day looking around for someone who can polish my R32 standard 5 spoke mags.

I went to goldcoast electroplating who said no we dont do much of that. Then I went to this other place near there called "mag" who said yeah its tricky to do and said $120 per wheel.

My next call was to a guy called Rod the polisher who does allot of little things under engine bays and stuff for a pretty reasonable price but unfortunately charges $90 a wheel as it is a tricky job.

Surely there is someone who does this stuff for a good price as it is a common thing.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks everyone

Hi Sik32, I have a set of polished R32 mags on my car. They were polished not too long ago. I'd be interested in selling them if anyone is interested i'll post a pic...I'm not sure where the last owner had them done but they turned out really good and look great on the car.

Hey Devil,

Do you need the mags for your car or are you looking to swap the mags. If so I would swap you my standard R32 mags for your chrome wheels for say $100 ??

Or if you want straight cash how much would you be looking at ?

I used to work as a metal polisher doing wheels and bumpers and all that kind of stuff. I was the foreman at aplace called A1 Quality Chrome in seventeen mile rocks. The phone number there is 33767604 and there is a guy there named John Chamley, he has a metal polisher set up at home and does a very good job, but if you want the quality you will pay the price. It is a prick of a job and very dirty. When I was doing them I wouldn't touch wheels for less than $180 a piece. But when you got them back they were like mirrors. I don't know what John is charging these days, but I can say his work will be second to none. Tell him Gary Auhl (pronounced ALL) sent you and he should look after you. Also expect not to have your wheels for a little while. I would suggest getting them done either one or two at a time.

Cheers

Gary

Sik32, I have decided to buy 2x R32 GTR wheels for the rear and have them polished up. (i want 245's on the rear) So i might end up having 2 spare which might help you out a bit. I'll let you know once I have the GTR wheels.

Hey Devil,

Any news on those 32 wheels, I really want to get them sorted out soon. Would you want to swap non polished wheels for polished ones with cash, or just straight cash ?

Hope you can get back to me soon.

Bye
