Buying a new alloy

Postby wanda » Thu Nov 04, 2010 11:04 pm

I am looking at buying this alloy for our megane cc, I am not sure whether it can take the weight of the car, I called the manufacturer and they dont seem to know about their alloy. Where else can I findout?

they don't have those but if you contact them, they can probably get some for you.

That £450 include shipping and import tax?
Good price if it does!

Basicly painting them, it's a powder coating that's put on them then the alloys put in an oven, the powder heats to a liquid n dries hard, better than paint, but if u don't like ur standard alloys it's not going to make a great difference, just colour change :-)
