Had my alloys refurbed at the Wheel specialist in Birmingham, £256 all in to strip the tyres off, chemically strip them, repair them and then powder coat them. All this was done in a day and a 12 month guarantee was given.

Very happy with the alloys and the service they gave.

Nice, i was quoted almost £350 from the wheel specialist by their Fareham branch for my 17'' Spiders.

I'm glad i decided that was too much, £256 is a very reasonable price i may give them a call and haggle.

sounds expensive compared to city powder coaters who do it for £20 each wheel. strip, coated, etc.

That isn't expensive, it's just that City are remarkably cheap really! Not sure how they make any money.

It's difficult to get a good quality job done for less than £50 a corner, in my experience.

Totally agree, had a friend with a car who had his done for a very reasonable £25 a corner, the laquer peeled off in 2 months and they refused to re do them. You definitely get what you pay for imho

Mine were 280, but smoked chrome, as previous got quote online then rang, they are all franchises so you can barter , looks good
