Wheel refresh at city powdercoat Birmingham.

Post by stevespg » Mon Jan 23, 2017 8:59 pm

Had my wheels done, £160 stripped, prepped, refinished, tyres fitted and balanced.....took 5 days, text received when done

They're pretty much perfect. Couldn't fault them at all

This finish was more expensive than the std finish, which was just £120

Yup, the in famous £20 a wheel place... I was sorely tempted to use them for my 108's, as they still only wanted £20 a rim as ling as I split them..

They look great for the ££

I've used them twice, X5 first then MV2's. Second set were not quite as good. Yes they're cheap but they're not always 100% perfect on the inside or blindside.

There's a "correct way"?......

However I do confess to ensuring I put them all in the same way.....am I sad?

I have some M wheel stickers on order... is there a correct way for those too?

£160 each, eh? That's quite expensive. Mine were only £360 for all four. :wink:
