Whats the goin rate for a decent basic refurb ppl?I was quoted £65 per wheel today inc of tyre removel and refit.Is this too much or does it sound about right,as i thought id be paying about £45per wheel?Will be glad to hear your thoughts on this,thanks Lee
-
£65 sounds like a good price to me, is it just being sprayed or is that powdercoating?

Early 16v rims, they are a nice simple wheel to refurb so wouldnt be paying to much to get them done £25-£30 max per wheel, personally i do my own as im a tight ar$e :laugh:
-
i paid £65 per wheel for my split rims & they was farked!! As you know bbs rx2's corroded like a cun7! I got them powder coated & the bolts have been polished. Theres a place in bordesley green in bham called sweeney sherlock & i think they charge £25-£35 per wheel.

Thats exactly what i was thinkin really.Might hold off and get them done cheaper elsewhere as there not a particularly special set of rims anyways.

theres quiet a few places in bham that will refurb them.
-
barry: how comes you got them done it silver? Should have went for a diffrent colour?
Did you want to keep it looking original? (you got an anniversary)

Feck of Wherry, I could remember the name of the company or the price that I paid :grin:

thats a good price. But like everyone will tell you, make sure the company is rated. Have a look at some of their wheels that they are in process of doing & have done. They will be more then happy to show you the process & the finish. What are they gonna do to them? Shot blast them & powder coat or spray them?
-
Have a go at a diy refurb.
