Does anyone have an approximate range of what it would cost in £ to refinish a set of 18" Turbo II Alloys? They would only have curb rash, no warp/bends/dents etc...

Any range would be helpful. Thank-you.

£35-£75 each depending on what's done and who does it.

Great, thank-you very much!

That actually seems very reasonable, thought it would be £150 per rim or so.

Hi,
I had a set refinished for a different marque and they came to around £100 per wheel. I'm not sure where in the UK you are but the stand out specialist for this type of work is in Bridgend, South Wales. The company is called Renowheel http://www.renowheel.co.uk/contact.html and they did all the special wheel finishes for the McLaren F1 so they are pretty good!

Be sure you use a reputable shop. The body shop that had my Turbo sent out one of the Turbo wheels for refinishing -- it got scuffed from an encounter with a mule deer -- and the wheel refinishing shop ruined the wheel. I have no idea what happened. The wheel refinishing shop came highly recommended. Still the wheel was ruined. But the wheel refinishing shop came through and paid for a new wheel at a cost of around $1800.
