Alloy re-furbs

[Ffoxy]

OK so a while ago I looked on 'tinterweb at alloy wheel re-furb options and got a quote of £320 from a company on the Tyburn Road in B'ham. Too much thought I, so I did nothing.

A week later I got an e-mail.... 10% reduction if I get it done before the end of Feb... hmmm..... £290.... did nothing.

Last night I got a phone call... "we can do your wheels for £220.10p inc vat... drive in drive out, in anthracite powder coated etc etc"... well known company and Quentin Wilson had his Merc wheels done there.... he's an eye for a bargain...

Now is £220.10p a good price, all 4 wheels, I just drive it in, leave it, come back and drive home.... Simplezzzzz....

yep thats a good price

just depends on whether you really need them done or not

Cheers Mikeee, would be good to get confirmation from the Forum members who have had theirs done too but I am afraid I do need them doing.... out of warranty now and all 4 wheels are losing their lacquer and colour, will get rapidly worse IMO judging by the way the stuff comes off once its started. Probably the worst issue I have with my car but I forgive it that.
Poor preparation or conditions when they were made I think.

I do think gloss black would look amazing but Ffoxy is an old man

they are pretty set in their ways

Cheers Ninja, colour is subjective TBH, I like anthracite which is quite dark anyway, just curious if £220 is a good price or if anyone knows of the same service offered for less.... there is a Credit Crunch on lol!

I got a quote of about £250 for full refurb and done in white. So good price.

Go for anthracite! As seen as they're getting done get them slightly different.

Lowest I've had quoted was £65 p/w. So £260 all in. I'd say you've got a good price.

I paid £55 per wheel when I had mine done on the punto but they were 15s, have recently been quoted £55 per wheel for the 14s on my pug.
£220 seems to be about the going rate...

If its a good price then I'll go for it methinks... however it will ultimately cost me £400.... Mrs Ffoxy will be coming with me so I can spend an equivalent amount on her at The Mail Box shopping centre while I wait.... :bang:

Spoken like a single male Mikeee... Mrs Ffoxy is clever... an accounting obsessive so I cant fool her that easy.

Intersting point on the centres Jamie... they spray them the same colour as the wheels so I am left with a little job to do. Suggestions other than Abarth or Red replacements welcomed...
