My work shed, 2001 Volvo S60 T5, has a leak on the rim so a refurb needed, otherwise it's in excellent condition.

Popped up to Wheel Specialist in Garforth who quoted me £330 for an over night dip followed by silver spray.

This represents 25% of the value of the car, I've gone back 3 years through the forum looking at this topic, every place seems to get slatted eventually, any suggestions for a more middle of the road price please.

Thanks all so far.

Jorvik seems a good better for my 350z tart up pre Le Mans.

As for the Volvo, read some awful reviews on Cas Coatings but the killer there is you have to take wheels in tyreless so that's a no.

Well nothings simple or easy these days is it!!!!?

After Snotrags recommendation above drove down to Midas Touch today, wasted journey. He's right they'll take the tyres off the rim but not the car. With most of these places you have to put the car on bricks, then find another big enough to transport 4 wheels, it's just to much grief.

In conclusion, as it's the shed gone with V8convert now, Pristine wheels Otley. I know it's only a frontal job, tyre deflated but kept on the rim, not sure of the quality in the back of a van but heh ho it's easy & will suffice for my needs.

Might try Jamieson for the Zed though.
