Sorry to post this in general, but I just can't find these £25 per wheel places that people have gone about on here. Also, I'd like to warn that you risk being ripped off when these places find out you have a Subaru and want gold wheels!

So where in London (or thereabouts) can I find a place that will refurbish and paint my wheels gold??

I've had two different prices from the same company and they seem to change their price based on what car you got! And apparently gold paint costs an extra £30 for the Subaru because it has to be ordered from Subaru (??!!)

Best price I've had is ~£70 per wheel, which is too much given that someone has had them done as little as £25.

Do what I do and get the paint made up in aerosol and do it yourself :cool: You can do all 4 wheels for £25 :cool: What damage do you have to the wheels? I have you done some painting with these cans for Ian Payne and he can verify that you can get a superb finish :D If you want to go down this route mail me offline

Paul,

Thanks for the reply - this would be my prefered route, but unfortunately I am physically injured and dont have the strength to remove a set of wheels :( I wouldn't want to do it with the wheel on...

Cheers!

There is (or was) a company in Kent, somewhere near Tonbridge, called Spit and Polish and they specialised in wheel refurbishment. I don't know if they're still going but they did an excellent job in refurbishing some wheels of mine about four years ago.

The gold wheels on my MY99 WRX are in great condition, but they do have some brake dust stains on them so I am considering a refurbishment myself.

Pristine Wheels in Woburn near Milton Keynes, sure they have a web site too if you do a search.

Wicked Wheels operate nationwide on a franchise basis.

The bloke for the South East did an excellent job of painting mine anthracite - he does work for the local Subaru and BMW dealer.

The best bit is - outside your home, 1 hour per wheel.

Website lists the areas / phone numbers.

There's Lepsons in Chatham as well. They made a good job making two of my SuperTs round again, not sure about their painting, as I've never had any done. (I can wield a spray can myself ;))
