I'm picking my OZ wheels up from the powder coaters next week and am thinking I need to put some new wavy discs on. It will also mean i can carry a fully rolling pair of spare wheels (cos i bought F9's tyres :smt001 ).

Branded discs are expensive and I was wondering if anyone has used the cheaper version appearing on ebay. Full set for about £160. Any recommendations.

How about these Dave at £136.95.

They look like the OE fit Sunstar discs (not OE on the Falco BTW).
Aprilia fitted both Brembo and Sunstar.

Sunstar also make the brand Braking

If they are the ones I think they are, I have a set of them on my carbon fibre wheels.

They look pretty good to me Dave, but on s slighly different subject.

Where did you have the wheels done?
and
How much did it cost?
I have a set of wheels I got off Tweaker that I have not got around to powder coating yet, so need to sort them during winter.

The wheels we saw at the nec were done by Central Wheel Components who've been about forever. Can't remember the price but they were less than I expected and bloody gorgeous.

Incidentally, I've just bought an OE rear disk as one of my things to change over winter. AP8113612, listed as the bit for the Falco now, cost 30 quid. Stamped sunstar, feels bloody heavy.

Wavy disks are pretty but come sharp when you're trying to clean your rims.

Edited to add, price from central wheel website

Cast Wheel - remove tyres, discs and bearings - then refit and balance - Prices from £75 per wheel.

Howard - I've used Sure Powder Coating in Hull. Very friendly outfit. Blasted, powder coated (black with graphite) and laquered for £100. Could have saved about £15 by going to a smaller (but scruffy place) and Sure come highly recommended.

Hi Howard, If I'd read this thread earlier I might have been able to save you some money... This morning I took my Oz wheels up to Triple-S powder coaters in Bingley. Here's their web site:

http://www.triple-s.co.uk/

They will (apparently) cost me £105 plus VAT for the pair, and I'll be collecting them when they tell me they're ready (but almost certainly at the weekend). I've had wheels done by them before and the quality of their work is absolutely top drawer. Show standard, in fact.

Thanks to both of you, it is nice to get info about local workshops who people on here have used and recommended.
