    Default Compomotive Wheels

    I have a few Compomotive wheels, both CX and Turbo styles, some with slight damage to the outer rims. Is anyone aware of somebody who is able to re-true these either as rims or as assembled Wheels?

    Thank you,

    Default Compomotive Wheels

    While on the subject of Compomotive Wheel refurbishment, does anyone have any thoughts or experience of finish for the cast centers?

    I plan to bead blast them to remove all the old finish, I have 3 different colors, but should these be powder coated or primed and painted? The color is still TBD, but I'm leaning towards a gun metal grey with polished outer rim.

    Thank you,

    Powder coating works well on the centres. I has some Turbos done in gold with a polished rim, which looked good. Whether you go for that or paint, have the hub face and bolt/centerlock faces masked off.
