  • Jimbobs new (refurbished) alloys

    Finally gave up on white and had the alloys refurbished black.

    Covered them in Poorboys wheel wax and just hope they keep cleaner than white!

        I love them and think it was a real bargain.

          Love 'em- only thing I would say is to stick some of that blackening stuff on your tyre rims- probably just the flash or sun glare making them seema bit lighter though- really good stuff

              It's a take away service. They:

              1. Come to your place.
              2. Swap your wheels.
              3. Take away, acid bath, powder coat.
              4. Refit tyres and balance.
              5. Come to you and refit.

              Not bad for £250 in my opinion. They are based in Northwich and cover the North West.

                Fair price- cheap set of half decent wheels for DS3 start round £500
                Wonder how Bellones could be colour changed?

                  Powder coat them bright red! Would look interesting on your car!

                    I reckon that's a damn good price when you realise what's involved in powder coating and the fact they come to your house and everything- bargain

                      What- the Bellones? HHMMM. Strange idea. Could leave the Aluminium bits so they show out
                      Will think bout that. Not a bad idea
                      Anyone good with "Paintbox" or some other software tool to do a mock up?

                        Just add a mask using photoshop- takes a minute

                        You can try the wheelwright website- they have a visualiser

                          I like the look of them black but did think the white looked better in my opinion as it went with the roof but still looking nice!

                            In a year they were probably white for about 10 hours in total
