Refurb - How much ?

[Maz]

For two 182 cup pack wheels refurbed, Fred ? anyone ?

Chips Away used to charge £50ish quid for a touch up.

 

[Final Maxim]

im sure pinky found somewhere that did it for £15 per wheel

 

[Gumby]

Is this thread of any use to you Maz?

 

[Maz]

^ cant see it Gumby sorry.

£15 per wheel, I always go with you get what you pay for and a that price its too good to be true.

 

[rory182]

I've been quoted £130 for 4 wheels recently.

 

[Jungle_Jim]

yeah i would have said between £20 - 40 per wheel depending on size, finish and original condition etc

 

[Maz]

^ As low as £20 for a good job ? really ! sure my step dad paid £50+ per corner on the evo wheels last year.

Where was that Rory ?

Gumby can see the link now I have paid my membership but I dont fancy spraying anything myself I cant even work a touch up pen

 

[Jungle_Jim]

to be honest mate its not hard to do them yourself heres a guide me and my brother wrote when we refurbed our saxo alloys

Get them powder coated. Looks better and will be longer lasting.

 

[Maz]

I thought that was what a refurb was ? powder coated ?

Apols if I didnt make that clear, thats what price I am looking for.

Not sure on the look better, proper wet paint finish will always have a better gloss and look to them than powdercoat.

'the wheel specialist' in manchester is around £150 for all 4 powdercoated Maz, they are associated with lap-tab in birmingham that fred uses

 

[Maz]

^ name ? contact number ? you used them before ?

Rich, what are wheels done with as standard ? Im confused.

 

[Rich]

Normal paint as standard Marie - as in basecoat and lacquer just like the bodywork is.

 

[Maz]

Ah right ok, that clears that up then, thanks Rich.

[rory182]

You don't have to do anything

 

[Maz]

^It says you have to spray your own centre caps.

 

[Christophe]

i need to get one of mine done as it kurbed really badly. Any one know where i could get it done around North Yorkshire??

 

[Maz]

£50 per corner + vat at that place you suggested Foxy.

 

[f0xy]

christ

i only paid laptab £160 INC Vat when i had mine done, and that was when they were just in birmingham..... i had one wheel done at the manchester place i mentioed so it matched and only paid £39 INC Vat and they did all my center caps for free!

obv put the prices up tut

 

[Maz]

Did Fred get you a discount ?

 

[Fred@BTM]

£160 if you go through me for all 4 (birmingham only)

 

[Maz]

Thats no good, I only want two doing and in Manchester lol

Thanks anyway Fred.

 

[Fred@BTM]

let me have a word

 

[Maz]

The guy I have been speaking to is called Derek Farr.

They do 4 wheels for the price of 3 at £150+ vat.

 

[Fred@BTM]

cool i will see what can be done

 

[Maz]

Thanks your a star.

 

[Fred@BTM]

i'll have to get them to ship the "cup pack colour" up from birmigham as i'm pretty sure manchester don't have it on site

 

[Maz]

He reckons they do as I asked him plus they had pics of trophy wheels on the web site in that colour.

 

[f0xy]

i didnt get discount no maz, i complained because they fooked up the coating around where the valves sit, and didnt take out one or two marks i asked them too.....

Derek is the guy that i dealt with also, mind he was a bit slow in getting the center caps sorted (a number of weeks) and i had to chase him but they eventually got done

 

[Fred@BTM]

you on about the 3rd one down on the right?

[Maz]

Yes Fred, is that not right ?

Ah kk Foxy, not sounding good.

 

[Fred@BTM]

^no, thats the charcoal, about 100times too dark, remember i got the owner of "the wheel specialist" to have the "cup pack/trophy grey" custom made

only available at birmingham site (for now)

 

[Maz]

Ah right well thats idea out the window, thanks for letting me know Fred

 

[f0xy]
