Post by: tobybrennan on 02 August 2009, 18:12

how much does professional wheel refurb cost on a set of 4?

£50-£60 a wheel to have them stripped and powder coated. Providing they are just coloured painted wheels. Which will make them as new.

What rims are they?

If they are polished metal and laquered then a bit more per wheel as more work involved.

I personally tried to polish my wheels, wasted about £30 on gear and hours. The result was OK but not what i was personally after.

There is a reason there is proffesionals in this game. Its up to you, but i would spray any wheels other than steel winters.

If you are after polishing check out "mike the polisher"

if you want to paint them then just do it yourself, is so easy and is so much cheaper

For £50 a wheel you get it powder coated not sprayed, which means it will with stand abuse, and weather, and not chip. It also has the inside of the wheel sprayed too, dipped and stripped. And also all kurbing etc fixed up to be perfect.

To me its a no brainer. Home bodge jobs are not FTW, and just cost you more money in the long run.
