paid £200 for 4 wheels

but 3 of the wheels look okay its just that one

phoned the lad, he is going to take a look at it tomorrow


f**k me mate, there's a powder coasters near me that would do that type of job for £60.

why didn't you just take them to "the wheel specialist" they charge £200-£300 for a set of 4 size dependant but when you collect them you think wow there too good to fit to a car!

Hi Russell

A set of 4 x 15’’ would be £264 inc VAT. That is for the full process……tyres off/on, acid dipping and shot blasting back to bare alloy, kerbing/corrosion removed, powder coating and powder lacquer ( we have a range of colours on display for you to choose from) new valve and wheel balance.

You can let me know what you think or feel free to pop down and have a look at the colours and finishes.

that was for a set of 15" cyclones

is this quote for you to take them the car or just to drop off the wheels?
I can't remember if its a bit cheaper if you just drop off the wheels, also tell them there's no curbing to be fixed as there allready in mint condition apart from the paint job.

Not cheap anyway but worth it.

That's not a bad price for a proper wheel refurb place imoSmile

You've got over £40 in vat, then round here it's £13 per wheel for fitting tyre/valve/balance, so that's another £52.

Get a price for bare alloys dropped off if you can get tyres removed/re fittedThumbs up

    i found demon tweeks to be cheapest for fitting tyres and balancing. £6.50 a wheel

    i've just had my mi16 wheels re-furbed at pristine. worked out about £55 each

    my t16 alloys will be dearer as they are a bigger wheel

    w**ker been after a set of t16 wheels for some time, will give you your due, you seem to find a lot of good or obsolete parts.
