how much to expect for alloy refurb?
« on: 20 August 2013, 14:32 »
Hey I am looking for advice guys. First off my car has 18 vancouver alloys on it. They are not really really bad but the car would look alot better with them done.

How much would i pay? Iv been quoted 200 for powder coated but if i want them diamond cut I will have to pay 400.

What would you guys do? Or would you not even bother on an 09 car?

PS im in Glasgow if anyone can recommend anyone.

cheers

that would be your choice mate its a bit cheaper to have them powder coated an a bit easier to look after but diamond cut does suit some cars well  :smiley:

200 is about the going rate for a same day service its a bit cheaper if you leave the wheels with them for a few days but not every1 has a spare set  :wink:
