Hi all, just picked up my 180 and unfortunately all the alloys have kerbing marks all the way around the edges. Never having to have alloys refurbished on any other cars im unsure a) can a decent wheel refurbisher bring them back to new-ish, b) how much can I expect to pay per wheel and c) most importantly can anyone recommend a good place to do it in the Ashby/Burton/Derby/Tamworth area?
The last ones I had done were refurbished by the original wheel manufactures (KN Wheels in Telford) & they charged ?35 per (14 inch wheel, wheel size will affect price) if memory serves me right. I think they refurb any make of wheel as well.
I think there's a place near spaghetti junc' in Brum that gets good press but I can't think of the name, maybe someone on here might know who I'm thinking of?

i can highly recommend getting your wheels refurbed! I got mine powder coated and they came up like new. Mine were ?180 for same day, car delivered at 9am picked up at 5pm job done!!! Brilliant!
speak to my mate who does it he is mobile so comes to you (tamworth), his number is 07900937420 and his name is Paul, say steves cleenz gave you the number
the place in brum is called laptab, been getting mixed replies back from laptab about there quality of work, my wheels were done there by the previous owner and they are crap, paint flaking off
id sugest getting powdercoat over paint, espiecially if your planning on keeping a car for over a year, prices round here average on about ?25 to ?50 a wheel
Maybe a bit of a noob question but when you go to one of these powdercoater refurbishers do they base the price on the work they have to do ie if they have to fully strip the wheel of paint etc then treat corrosion and kerbing does it cost more than just a simple powdercoat?

Go and see them and get a quote.
