Default Local Wheel Refurbers - Any recommendations?

As above.

dont want anything filling etc. just paints flaking and bubling so want it repainted.

any recommendations? ideally those who dont mind taking the wheels with tyres on.

I've used Midas Touch in Castleford and The Wheel Specialists in Garforth, both were really good - especially TWS. Don't know how local those are to you though.

what colour do you want them? I can plastic coat them for you silver/black/white /red pretty much anyone colour really, 150quid all in, ie tyres / valves removed, chemical clean, light bead blast to clean up damaged areas and create an even finish, powder coat your colour choice, refit tyres , new valves and balance, would need the wheels 3-4 days but I can lend you some 17s if required. please PM me for contact details

midas touch here as well. they charged me £35 per wheel including removing and refitting tyre plus balancing wheel.

midas need the wheels for 2 days.

Wheel Specialist did my last set, more expensive but very professional and they do a same day service. Drive in drive out job. £240 for a set though.

ive known loads of people use them and the wheels have cracked later, i think they are only good for wheels with less spokes and not lightweight.
