Going tomorrow to suss out getting my alloys resprayed matt black but they are on runflats. The place does and can take runflats off and put them on again but has anyone had such a thing done before with any ill effects?? Don't want to get a respray only for the tyres to be b*ll*Cksd!!
Cheers

I have had it done several times, no problems. Even had a set of JCW 18" removed and remounted. No damage at all. Good luck!

makeure th tyre fitter is aware that its runflat before they remove. I bought a second hand Runflat off someone, went to get it fitted and because it had'nt been removed properly it split when being put back on
