Is Anyone Reconditioning 1.9 Alloys On Here?

[maturin23 10]

I've decided to get a set of wheels with winter tyres on, will probably use my existing ones for that which are in OK condition, but fancy a nice shiny set of 'new' ones for summer use.

 

I'm based in North London. There's a guy just up the road who does it on a commercial basis - would be £180 for all four.

 

Is that a good price? Can anyone on here do a good job for less?

 

cheers

Ian

If you can get them to pscuk group leader rob in Gloucester minus tyres I think he can still get them blasted and coated for £100 a set of 4, lovely durable finish, few different colours available.

Thanks Mei,

 

Good price if he was local!

In Surrey/Hants most companies offering a refurb service seem to charge about £50 approx (give or take £10 either way) to refurb an alloy. So £180 for 4 sounds about right being you're also London/South East.

thats a good price, most places i know start from 35-50 a rim, cant you just paint them yourself.?? thats all i do on mine and they come out nice and shiney, aswell as havin polished lips

I paid around £60 a wheel, the finish is of a very high standard. Kent/London border. Amazing service.

I very much enjoyed refurbing mine myself recently, it helps having a spare set though - but one thing i will say is that i will NEVER do polished lips again, what a nightmare that was! Sanding for hours....

theres a guy on ebay at the moment doing 4 smr's refurbed in a colour of your choice for £150.

thats for an outright purchase so you could save a few quid by not needing a set to be refurbed. in radstock or offers postage for £40 so you could pay £180 ish to refurb some (plus say £50 for the wheels to start with) or £200 for a new set refurbed already

 

having said that I have no idea if they are any good or not just thought I'd make you aware if you werent already

They're just down the road from me in Gillingham. They're very good and I'd recommend them!! Got a few mates who have used them.

Depending on the finish of the wheels that sounds like a bargain!!!

 

I'm rubbing my SMR's down this weekend with my kids ready to spray later in the week when I get the chance to... Kids enjoy it as much as me lol
