Wheel Refurb Worth The Cost?

I think so, I had these done by a local wheel and tyre specialist in Reading at £85 each.

They also have loan wheels so you are not left without transport which is included in the above price.

Some before and after shots.

They do look good but £85 a corner - wow that's expensive! I always do my own and probably would have done them all for a touch under what you paid for one wheel. Don't get me wrong, they are a pain in the backside, especially MV1s but I think i'd faint forking out £340 for someone to repaint my wheels. Im glad you are happy with them though

The high cost is because they were strip any damage rectified then powder coated all over including the inside and the rear, not just the face.

I am bidding on some style 89's that will all need a refurb but am concerned about the overall cost for four wheels.

What do you have to do to do it yourself? Is it relatively easy??

It is cheaper if you just have the outside face done.

Mine were acid dipped then powder coated completely like they are done at the factory.
