Wendy 0 Posted April 15, 2015 I have just rang them before posting on here. They want £108 per wheel !!!!!!!!!!! I thought this was a tad high !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 15, 2015 That's ludicrous. Couple of suggestions in here on a Pistonheads thread from last year: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=1393982 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted April 15, 2015 £108 a wheel, goodness... Should be 50/60 quid max.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy 0 Posted April 15, 2015 Goldie - I live in the South of the country !!! I have now rang 4 wheel refurbishers. Cheapest is £72 so far, most are £90. None of whom I know the quality of their work. Jim - Manhatten do wheels - Have you heard anything about their wheel refurbs. What do you reckon. They are charging £72 upwards and would want to see them before confirming the price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted April 15, 2015 No idea unfortunately :( I'd be reassured by the fact they're a paint shop though, rather than a powdercoaters.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delfinis38 1 Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Wow... At that price I'd be buying a new set of solitudes from classic car part... They were still selling them for about 70 quid each a while back. I came across a company in Hemel called max powder a while a go no idea of quality but seemed cheap... But cheap is not always best.

Jim 2 Posted April 15, 2015 Yeah - they're still that kind of price, but I'd assume Wendy has Speedlines that need refurbishing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chuggs1 10 Posted April 15, 2015 http://www.oxfordperformanceautos.com/alloys2.html These sound good - based in Witney - £70 per wheel - tyres removed before refurb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zygalski 10 Posted April 15, 2015 About 4 years ago I had my old 16" MX5 alloys dipped & stripped, these were pretty badly scuffed & refinished as new & refitted etc for about £250 all-in for 4. Same day service too if you book a month in advance. The guys who did mine were http://www.wheelworksuk.co.uk/ Ok, they're in Crawley, but there are similar places everywhere who would charge far less than what you were quoted.

VR6 South 0 Posted April 15, 2015 I have used these guys for a number of years with no issues. Their prices make it worth a trip from Portsmouth for me as most places in the area charge £££££ http://www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkR 11 Posted April 15, 2015 I used Lepsons in Gillingham to refurbish my Speedlines. They charged £75 + VAT for a full refurbishment. This included an acid striping, filling the damage and a full repaint. They maybe more expensive than some but the quality of their work is superb. IMO anything less than this is not a proper job and is likely to deteriorate very quickly. Their website has lots of useful information for anyone contemplating a wheel refurbishment. http://www.lepsons.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
