+2S wheels question

• Page 1 of 1
Hello All,
I am after a set of black +2S wheels with the chrome section around the edge and am having difficulty sourcing them (new or old!). I have been offered a set of the standard silver +2 wheels, does anyone know if these can be modified to the +2S specification?
Cheers,
Guy

I would imagine that this would be quite difficult and probably very expensive....but Ive no doubt someone will do it...
just a case of finding out who.......
the thing is the chroming and the riveting I guess......
it looks like the outer rim was chromed and then riveted to the steel centre judging by the appearance of the wheel.......so you need to find someone who would take a set apart and then rechrome and rerivet.........

Hi
I've got some plus 2 wheels with chrome rims that I won't be needing. I'm currently using temporarily till I fit the alloys on my S4. This could be a long time as I'm not going to buy tyres until the car is finished - long term rebuild. However, I'm fairly sure I have a couple of spares, they are in useable condition last time I looked, slight pitting of chrome and gold centres.
I'm in Devon, let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can find them.

Compromise. The original steel wheels for the Plus 2 (or Elan) are in VERY scarce supply. Buy a set in the best structural condition you can find, strip and paint them, then add the press-on chrome beauty rings.
After all, the chromed rim of the wheel style you're after will only look good for so long; then pitting and rust set in. With the press-on beauty rings, you can at least renew them easily.
MHO, YMMV, etc. . . .
