Wheel refurb prices...

[Nosh]

Just been quoted £42 per wheel for my wheels to be powdercoated silver.

It was a bit of a longshot, but I know a guy that sorted my old bike wheels out (done a bootiful job, by the way) and he gave me the price...

so, thats £168 for 4 wheels, plus postage there and back, price of tyres on/off and wheel balance.....

Is that any good?

I'd say that was very good. I paid much more than that

If that's for a strip back to bare metal & full re-spray (inc. tyres on & off & re-balancing), it's about half of what a well-known wheel specialist in the Fareham area charges.

Sounds good to me, we pay £40-60 per wheel through the trade for our alloy refurbs, although to be fair they come back better than new.

Can't see from your details where you are... But Steve Edwards has just done mine in 2 pack including the plastic centre caps.... I did have a bit more work done than I first set out to do including the full backs done, plastic welding on the centres and he also re-fit the tyres / new valves... £50 each.. would be less may be if you didn't go the full hog... He's a chimp owner also... They are a top job and I'd recommend him to anyone
I'd just watch the powder coating.. it can chip off easy (just like the chassis!!) and you also get an orange peal effect with it... so not as flat as it might be... For my 2p's worth I'd go 2 pack...
There is a company local to me here in Bradford.. they charge £1 per inch for powder coating including strip and blast (so 16" wheel.. £16).. they are called CAS Powder Coatings in Eccleshill FYI....

Hi, Not sure where you're based but... I had my Imolas refurbed by Lepsons in Swindon, £60 a corner and a massively better finish than new inside and out, lots of top coat lacquer and not an orange in sight!

Balanced, new valves etc.

Top job and nice people too. They also have an additional outlet in the SE,can't remember where exactly.

I can recommend Absolute Powder Coatings Ltd in Barton-le- Clay, they shot blasted then a chrome effect powder coat, applied 6 coats of 2k laquer myself. Better than new!

Newlife Tyres in Edinburgh did my Evo OZs, £210 /4.
These wheels are notorious for corrosion according to the Lancer Register. They have come back looking new, amazing job done by the lads at Newlife Tyres, Duddingston Rd Sth.
Price for 17in x 4, tyres on an off, balance etc. Drive in and out in 1 day.
