Wheel Refurbs

[DrewMcLovin]

New to this sorta thing to be honest, been quoted £140 for 4 x 16" Clio Sport 172 Alloys, and finished in black.
Am i getting my pants pulled down for that, or is that fairly good?
+ does anyone know anyone cheaper/willing to do them around chesterfield/sheffield?
Cheers.

pretty damn good imo. i was quoted £250 for pro races to be finished in anthracite

Thats cheap!!

Id want to see the quality of work for that price...

The only problem is if the quality is poop. See if there are any wheels finished that you can look at to get an idea of the quality your £140 will afford!

Cheers lads.
The place that quoted me is a tyre specialist in my town, and they've sold me all my tyres and done any wheel work i need; pretty good job too.
Just thought i'd ask about wheel refurbs and they said that.
We'll see come payday.

Paint or powdercoat?

Powdercoating gives the most durable finish - can easily cost £250 to £300 if they do everything (i.e. you drive in and they remove the tyres, refurb the rims, then powdercoat. Although some companies will just do the powdercoating for a lot less.)

Painting - much cheaper, not as durable.

Don't know if there's any difference in the finish, from an aesthetic point of you.
