Looking to get my wheels refurbished....

Can someone please tell me the difference between Powder Costing and having the wheels Lacquered...

I had mine powder coated & lacquered. I think the lacquer gives the wheels that shiney effect.
Will try to post some pictures once I figure how to use the new digi cam software?

Powder coat costs more, but if a far better finish for wheels in that it's tougher.
I’ve seen £50 a wheel before, spit and polish are very good.

Tried them too....if i give the wheels with the tyres on they wat £65+ VAT

Choices are:

Spit & Polish - 4 day turn around
Rochfordtyres - 4 day turn around
WickedWheels - Same day mobile service

However am little worried about the same day service as i am not sure of what finish the wheels will be...mainly will the repray be flat or grainy..have had this issue when i got the rear bumber of my last car sprayed from a garage...

All of the avove are charging the same amount..
