Just look online to what's local to you, see if there are any reviews on each company and go with them. I followed same advice and found someone localish. Cost £50 a wheel (18's) and got them black powder coated. They look better than new. In fact too good for the tyres so bought new ones!! Lol

Thanks for the reply, been in touch with the garage i brought the car from and he has told me he will get them done using the guy he uses for £50 a wheel and will finish them in black for me, so i`m a happy bunny :) was going to do them gray like they are now but think the black will look stylish

Hello Paul,

Good move.

The local used car sales boys are always the first port of call, since they will certainly know the best sources of local refurbishers.

Kind regards,

Gareth.

i did call a couple of bodyshop guys local but prices varied from £75 to £90 a wheel then it struck me to ask the guy i got the car from to ask who he would use and glad i did now :)

£50 a wheel is a fantastic price! :) 

He is doing me a favour, not going to say its a private job but that is one of his cars that need the work doing, cant fault the after sales :P

Well done,

As I said, it's always worth fostering good relations with your local used car lot boys in any case. These chaps ( and don't they usually get bad press?) don't make an easy living - contrary to the easy formula of selling price minus buying in price equals good profit! Not really so, when overheads and repair expenses are considered. They have to know local sources for paint repairs etc. and their contacts have to do a good job at a reasonable price, so they will know the most reasonable specialists in your area. 

Always worth popping in for a chat, armed with some biscuits etc. even when you don't need their advice.

Kind regards,

Gareth.
