Bluebear Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think Speed Star are now known as SSR, ie. the guys who supply wheels for JGTC etc http://www.ssr-wheels.com Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daz gt turbz Posted May 4, 2011 Author Share Posted May 4, 2011 well what an epic fail this last minute wheels refurb is turning out to be.1st the guy didnt have the right colour in stock, so couldnt do them in time. so told him to do them black.2nd after promising me id have them back this friday he says hes now to busy, so told him he can have them til nxt thur because i need them back friday to put tyres on.3rd he then rings me this afternoon to tell me hes to busy next week so i wont have them back in time.so told him very politly (honest) that hes a fuckin dick and bring my wheels back. so now been ringing round trying to find another company that will do them, and they either carnt do them in time or are stupidly expensive. so thats powder coating out the window, been onto a local body shop and he can spray them, and turn around will be 2days. so takeing a wheel in tomorrow so he can have a look, he said they will be £45 a wheel, thats sandblasted and painted which is only £5 more than the powder coat guy(who was doing it as a favour to someone who ows me a favour!)so im rather fucked off!

LSN coatings in Castleford is where i get my stuff powdercoated and the turnaround is good, if you say you need it urgently they will try there very best to get it done.I had my axle off one weekend, and took it to LSN on the tuesday, i collected it on friday morning and had it on the car the next weekend And thats been the same for all my stuff.
