Hi,

Been away from the forum for a while and sure this has been asked a 100 times before..... but:

What aftermarket alloys bolt straight on, no spacers, clearance for Brembo's etc?

Had my LCR alloys re-furb'd in 08, they still look ok (apart from one that ATS killed after a puncture repair....) but, two out of the five are loosing tyre pressure over 24-48 hours, spent money having them re-seated but, still no good.... Live with making sure they have correct pressure before driving (PITA). Not much tread left so, might try some new tyres before winter.

On that note (re-furb'd once already) is it possible to have them stripped/powder coated again? I've read that some believe that it's not a good idea, according to the "internet".

Cheers.

I have the same problem with one of my wheels, apparantly its air leaking past the laccur as it breaks down. personally i'd have the alloys refurbed.
