I know of a place in north wales that provide a prestige service when it comes to refurbing and spraying wheels.

Anyone fancy having them done, let me know




"Rear wheel drive, Not queer wheel drive"

youd be better off posting example pics and prices

i'll upload some photos in half an hour or so. prices start from £70.

a wheel or a set ?

Per wheel, includes repairs on the wheels if needed

pictures will be up soon, just finishing off some on a 06" mercedes ML280

thats expensive

I get them repaired and powder coated for 40 quid each

and thats the norm around our area

£70 is very very expensive.

I can get them done by a company round the corner for £40-£50 depending on how bad the wheels are, plus i can do them myself perfectly well.

Thats cheap, just thought i'd pitch the idea to a few people. had a lot of requests.
Thanks for you help guys

£70 each LOL

Bearing in mind labour is anything from £40-100+ an hour and paint isnt cheap, surely £70 a wheel isnt that ridiculous?

I would want some reliable references before handing over wheels to be refurbed for £40,
'Buy cheap buy twice' comes to mind?

I was quoted £60 a wheel by, ahem!... Kwik-fit.

MMM, I won't say what I paid for these then. But it was nowhere near £70 a wheel.

well if in 3 years time if the paint hasnt fallen off, gimme their number and I will send mine there ha ha

Ha ha, trust me, I've been using this guy for a long time now, and nothing has ever flaked off.

Want to pm me the guys details Rav? And the price you paid etc... Or his usual price if you get a discount on it normally...

I want a set of standard 15" bbs refurbing with a mirror polished lip...

I didnt mean 70 was cheap i meant 40 was cheap. It's quite labour intensive. if you don't mind me askin how much you paid for the job on those wheels rav?

I couldn't say, as I get mates rates.

Legendary. But they are done to a very high standard. I'll uplaod all the photo's on monday after the wheels are on the ML

i'd want to see why some one is charging £70 for a £15 wheel for a refurb and what they do differently than the rest

anyhow no one will offer a 3 year guarantee, most offer one. also, powder coat doesn't flake off

do you know whats involved in a wheel refurb and where the hell do you get a £100 an hour labour price ? thats main dealer prices for servicing a car not for acid bathing wheels, a turn on the lathe and dusting on powder coat ffs !

BTW,

BJV engineering charge £130 for a set of 15" BBS's in standerd silver. their work is pretty good as well, spit an polish want £180 for a set and they are average at best.
lepsons want about £200 but their work is better than BJV

the best diamond cut lip i have ever seen has been done by Diamond Styling.

different wheels cost different amounts to get done, but the comical factor- was that it was posted as if to be helping out people to get a good deal by a good place with good rates, which its the opposite really

ive currently got my other set of bbs being refurbed gold with a polished lip,its been held up a bit longer than i expected, but got given a brilliant mates rates price for the jo but they usualoy only powder coat black or silver unless big orders, and theyve had a problem getting the right gold and right amount of it not a mass load, but will be worth the wait i feel , no rush anyway as i got other things to finish 1st and dont need the new set of tyres expense right now and they are for the summer, 1st of may i think il put them on

No it wasn't, i simply posted the topic to see if there was anybody interested.
