They do high quality work, but may not be cheap, worth a try though.

They quoted me 120 quid a wheel, so a bit too expensive for me Dave.
Useful to know, but too steep though.

you honestly should be able to get each wheel preped and painted for no more than 50 quid each imo. even cheaper if you prep yourself.
Whereabouts? That's more like it pricewise

i was getting quotes for 90-120 for the pair when i was looking mate, down here in portsmouth area.

i ended up getting them PWDcoated by my dads new girlfriends ex husband lol who was a painter, for 75 quid!

i also had some wheels done in 2 pack by a local ford dealer spray shop, cash in hand for about the same price.
if you want then just painted you ll save yourself the cost of beadblast or etc coz they only need the key to take, thats if the old stuff isnt flaking off everywhere like. its only the PWcoat that needd bare metal to stick too. im sure thats right anyways. if you want me to ask my dads bird i can for you?? obviously you ll need to get them to me and back again, which might just uck the cost up to where you are anyways!? but the offers there. :)

There's a place in Surbiton I was looking at who quoted me £75 per wheel, but that was powdercoated. If their website is anything to go by, they look a fairly professional outfit.
