hi all, whats the going rate to get wheels resprayed these days.. im thinking of anthrite-ing mine.. can a normal bodyshop paint wheels as they would a car?

 

30 to 50 quid each depending where you go.
A normal body shop could do it, but yout better of at a proper powedercoaters, as they shotblast the whole wheel, and spray (powdercoat) the whole wheel. A body shop would only rub down the face of the wheel, as much as they would need to.

 

I went to a place called Diamond Wheels in Stockport avoid these muppets. They quoted me £260 to dip them and spray them but after the 2nd rate job they did, I paid them £200.

Just for your info if you have any corrosion around the valves you will probably need them fully dipping, otherwise the mobile vans can do a respray. I believe prestige wheels in New Mills are pretty good but don't quote me.

This time around on my RB5 I have done my own. Fully sanded down, primed, sprayed and laquered for £30.00.

 

Mines cost £70 a wheel totally refurb'd inside and out and look better than new, really pleased with them, worth every penny IMO:

 

I did my set of p1 wheels last week myself for less than £30
but you will have trouble finding to code for the anthracite colour though, I just took the car to the paint shop to get a colour match , aerosol can made , job done ,

oh I tried that Diamond wheels in Stockport .........like bob r said avoid !!!!

 

WAtch for hidden costs at these places guys...

when i last got a quote it was £40 per wheel for refurb

+

£5 to remove EACH tyre

+

£8 to refit EACH tyre and balance

so £53 X 4 (PLUS VAT) = I BOUGHT A NEW SET OF WHEELS AND TYRES

ive done a few sets myself if the just needed a respray and rub down, takes time but worth it

 

£200 all in

Its gonna be a good look mate
