Alloy wheel refurbishment help

Gandalf · 12-07-2005, 20:58

Hi,

I have just purchased a set of OZ 18" alloys but they require some refurbishment. I live in the North East, approx 8 miles from Durham. Can anyone recommend a place local to me that refurbishes alloys?

The best quote I have had so far is £50 per wheel. I have seen some people saying expect to pay approx £25 per wheel, which is more like it!

Can anyone help as £200 for a set of four is a bit steep.

Cheers,

Darren

i live in mansfield, notts and paid £45 a corner on a set of BK racing 16" multi spokes.
so i would say that for a decent job, £50 sounds about fair.

i believe in the motto, 'you get what you pay for'.
hope it helps.

Sorry, I can't help. But hello to another NE member :-) Whereabouts do you live, exactly? I too am about 8-9 miles from Durham...

Peterlee. What about you?

You could give Romax a try in Stockton. I've never used them, but it might be worth giving them a ring. 01642 619196

Exactly, you get what you pay for http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ are meant to be the best, I believe they collect the wheels from you.

Would say £50/wheel is about the norm for refurbishment.

Thanks everyone. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay the money.

Suppose I did get a bargain, just not as much as I thought.

to the seller I say.

WRCsixtythree - Yeah. Let me know.
