    Wheel Refurbing in North West

    Can someone let me know hat a decent price would be for a full refurb on my RS2 Porsche Cup alloys (I guess it's only worth doing the 4 and keep the spare as is)?

    I'm not looking for bargain basement and a crappy job but what can I expect to pay for a quality finish?

    Second thing, does anyone have any reccos for refurbing in the North West?

    I paid £60 per wheel for: -
    • blasting to bare metal
    • powder coating undercoat
    • metallic paint coat
    • lacquer finish
    • tyre fitting
    • balancing


    Cheers

      How far up north?

      place in birmingham 20pound a pop or 25 pounds tyres on/off.

      thats for a straight black silver or grey.

      diamond cut/2 tone finishes are slightly higher in price!

      got my M3 alloys done from there, perfect job.

        JohnB - this sounds like the kind of job I'd like done.

        Where was this done at? I'm based in South Manchester so Cumbria may not be that bad, I could possibly combine the trip with something else

                Mike Hetherington is the fella to speak to at the Blast Shop, Central Garage, Thursby, Carlisle, CA5 6NU on 01228 711 897. Strictly cash or cheque . No connection to the guy: he just does a great job and will lend a set of wheels for you to drive on whilst he does the work!

                Any way it sounds like these other offers closer to you may be better
