About Ã‚£60 a wheel is the going rate!

Theres a place in Middlesborough I think which does a set in one colour for Ã‚£185 I think. So if you want them Motorsport spec it'll be more. They refurb the caps too.

The rims are almost new and are barely touched by the kerb monster.

I just fancy changing the aesthetic of the wheel.
Ã‚£60 average im sure is for the whole wheel. I ask the question as i just want the price to reflect the amount of work that needs done.

I used photoshop to show how i want them to look.

If i can not find anyone to do the job for me i might tackle it myself, but as i want it done to A1 standard i will hold out for now!!

Thanks for the reply guys...but i do need to find someone that can do the job, so question still stands

I bought a set of, let's just say, ROUGH Alpina reps from Dazleeds

Millsy81 told me of a place in Burton on Trent, not far from here, so i dropped them off.

They Acid dipped them, re-shaped the rims to remove the kerbbing. and then powder coated them (not just paint) in standard silver for Ã‚£141 inc vat. and did a fab job!!

Company is Dumelow and Sons, all you need to do is get the tyres off..

Hello mate. Do you have any idea of products needed for the JOB, I ask because i don't think standard wheel polish will give me the desired look? thanks
