Had this quote for my 4 standard wheels to be refurbed:

 

4 x £58.50 (for each wheel)

4 x £3.50 (for caps)

4 x £6 (tyre refit)

+ £extra if damaged internally

+ VAT!

 

so talking £320 for 4 wheels

 

They have quite bad brake dust markings and the odd scratch or two.. and damage on the rims of the alloy

 

They were going to improve the surface of the wheel to make it smoother - due the rather rough casting of the standard wheel (a haven for brake dust!)

They could also give me a slightly different finish - sort of a speckled/sparkly finish...

 

I was expecting less :( This quote seems steep to me but they are the only place I know around Milton Keynes...

 

Anyone got any comments?

 

Cheers

wicked wheels are s'posed to be pretty good, and they come to you...

Thanks for the links/names

 

Just had a look at the wicked wheels website and thier average price is £65 a wheel (inc vat?) So not alot cheaper... I may give them a call for a quote...

 

Also sent an email to spit & polish...

I think that I paid £100 a few years ago so your quote is

a bit steep.

 

Why not go the extra mile and get some 18"?

I think I paid about £200 inc vat for all four corners (std wheels) and was well pleased with the results. This was done at Nisstek (subcontracted out) who I'm sure made a couple of quid out of the deal as well.

 

I think that PaulC uses Lepsons in Medway but this is probably a little way from you.

I had mine refirbed with wicked wheels last month, cost me £70 a corner

which i thought was a bit steep

but mine had bad oxiditation and peeling on the insides as well as bad kerb damage they did a really good job though, look like new now.

 

darren

a local place quoted me £30 a wheel if i take the wheels there without tyres on.

not bad

Had mine powder coated a few months back. Finish is superb and only cost £40 a wheel.The price included tyre removal, refit and balance on inside of alloys using stick on weights. Huge choice of colours to choose from.
