Bickerton Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hardly a deal. That's around the going rate most places these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one litre wonder ;) Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 ditch that mate, they are really expencive! the last time i got a set of wheels done, i got them refurbed and powder coated for £25 a wheel for a 15. the company used to be in whiteinch but moved to east kilbride! the guy is really good, i had him also powder coat the metal patio furniture which has been in the garden ever since and thats been about 3/4 years and still looks brand new!

puggled Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) OLW got a name? My alloys are jiggered, pressure washed the wheels the other day and the paint came off two spokes on the rear. The fronts are heavily kerbed by previous owner (and let out air because of it).When you say refurbed and powder coated did that involve fixing kerbing or just sandblast and powder? £25 a wheel seems really affordable compared to most places, boy in Stirling is £150 just for the powder coat on 4.

HalfOfZero Posted November 17, 2011 Report Share Posted November 17, 2011 Hardly worth posting if it's only got one day left? (And that was 5 days ago..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
