Will get my 4 rims for the summer (i prefer them to the turbine style ones with the winter tyres) powder coated in silver by my local dealer for 80 pounds each - good price ?

Sounds very reasonable, providing it is a good job. Got enemies? Good, you have stood up for something in your life.

Never regret growing old, it is a privilege denied to many.

Why not body colour?

New Berlin airport was ok as a quick stand in post unification - far better than the old road route!

I like it classic - as for the airport i think it would be better to it new from the ground... All my spelling errorz are belong to me!

While you are at it can I suggest you have your rim waxed. letters not necessarily in the right order

Rim waxing provides a huge amount of pleasure and I can highly recommend it

Makes keeping them clean much easier.

Basically either a wax or sealant - best applied to new, or really clean wheels for obvious reasons.

I used Poorboys wheel sealant on my winter wheels & seemed to be good - will give my summers a good clean & put some on those before fitting

Rim waxing ohhh ere!

I personally think having your wheels anodised is the way forward, you won't have the worry of chipping etc, if powder coat chips you need to get the whole wheel done, where as paint can be touched up but it's not as strong as powder. 2010 defender utility

Frank,

You have a great colour combo there, the wheels in black look awesome, I like the turbine ones in black too.

As said above, buy some Porboys wheel sealant and apply to the nice new wheels, it massively cuts down the cleaning effort and how much brake dust bakes on.
