i just bought a set of 4 15" bbs RA's with good tyres for £200, was after a few sets on ebay etc and they all seemed to be fetching between £200-300 depending on condition.

For Powder Coating of wheels (in the south at least) try Swanick Gritblast not too far from Southampton, they did the centres on my RM's and made a beautiful job, i think I paid £100, that was for the wheels to be stripped and the centres and inner ring to be powder coated and the centre nut to be painted in 2 pack, all done within a week. They also did a friends 18" wheels for his focus, he told them he needed them very quickly, and true to their word the job was done in 2 1/2 days... very good service indeed :smiley:
