Is £128 to get wheels refurbed too good to be true?

I am looking to get my alloy wheels refurbished and have found a company in central Scotland who are advertising they will do 4 wheels (of any size) for £128 or £88 if there are no tyres on the wheels. It is a full powder coating service.

I am worried about the lack of information on this company, all I can find on the internet is their own website and facebook page. They only do 4 different finishes (silver, black, white and anthracite) but that is fine as I want plain silver.

Would you risk your money and wheels for this price or would it be worth paying £250 and going to a company that have been recommended?

Can anybody recommend a company that have good prices around Glasgow?

If you google for "amys-international core 4" you will find them. Please note that I have nothing to do with this company and am not recommending them as I haven't see their work yet.

Well not wanting to be a guinea pig I dropped my alloys off at the wheel specialist yesterday. £240 all in. I know it is £110 more but I am quite happy that I know I will get great results.

I'm agonising over whether or not to get the Ignis wheels refurbished in white, or in bright yellow to match the Recaro script on the seats and fishnet headrests.

I'll most likely use the Wheel Specialist too.

SO... White or yellow?
I cant imagine keeping either of those clean would be much fun.

I got my wheels back from the wheel specialist in Cumbernauld.
They have done a fantastic job.
