Question

I want to get a set of 16" wheels powder coated in anthracite.

I've been quoted £200 for all four, but I think that's too much!

Can anyone recommend somewhere that can do it cheaper?

Cheers
Andy

Try Mitcham Tyres & Wheels 0208 648 3865. I know they do wheel refurbishment (through spit & polish I think) but not 100% sure on cost but worth a try.

I'm waiting for confirmation of prices, but it seems that 16" wheels can be done for about £40 each!

And it would only be a couple of quid more for 17's.

I just want to check if they pick up from Surrey!

I found a place that will pick up on Tuesday or Friday and have them completed for the next delivery!

So Tuesday, ready Friday or
Friday, ready for Tuesday

Cost is £146+VAT = £171.55

Just need to confirm location and pick up times as the Bank Holiday screws up the times!!

I just had mine done, sounds like the same company - dropped them off Monday for Tuesday collection, and got them back today, as promised.

Colour wasn't matched - they came back darker - but then I didn't specify a paint code, just said to get as close as they could.

Oh, and it cost me a little more, £188, but they are 17"s. Still, it's less than the cost of one wheel.
