That sounds a bit cheap, was that for a Tonka Truck lol I thought usual prices were anywhere from ?45+ per wheel. Very good price at 20 notes each!

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll give that chap in Tamworth a bell in the week then, does he do the full refurb on them or just a touch up?

I am looking for a local place. Price seems to be ?45+ a corner. Mobile will be a smart repair and will be paint. I want mine powder coated.

Thats what they charged me for my MK2 elevan spoke's. I too have heard a variety of tales regarding paint refurbers in the birmingham area. Mostly that the finish is *****. far better off with a powder coated finish. The only neg i can say is i recently saw a set of powder coated alloys on a zed with cheap after market drilled and grooved disks and they'de made a right old mess of the inside of the alloy. loads of contaminents imbedded in the powder coat.
