Yes would be a good idea haha. I'm in Halifax but I'm prepared to travel within our region to get a good job
What price do you pay? I've never had wheels refurbed before, is it a set price?
Or try Midas touch in Castleford, or K M powder coating in Featherstone which @bashracing has used before and recommended to me when I asked in his turini sale post last week.

Hi mate, I pay £180 cash (regular customer rate) and basically drop all 4 wheels and tyres off with them, tyres removed, alloys dipped, stripped, kerbing repaired (welded and lathed back) and then powder coated, tyres refitted - takes about a week.
They do have a same day drive in service but currently booked up until end of May.
Its metal magic pmsl 😂

Cool. I only ask as I've just got some more wheels and they're in ok condition but are a really dull silver so I want them done in a bright, flaky silver. Think I'm going to get quotes from Metal Magic (yes I've done that on purpose :wink: ), Midas Touch and LSN Coatings and see what the prices are like.
Heard really good things about The Wheel Specialist, did a quote online ... £336 :frowning:

I had my Meg wheels refurbed yesterday by LCS powdercoatings in Barnsley, 2 mins off junction 38 m1. Done a cracking job on mine, was done in the day and got a courtesy car (ford ka) I'd ask them for a price on fb mate!

Not sure if colours make a difference etc, but for x4 18" megane alloys in anthracite I paid £220. That includes removing/ refitting tyres all done in same day!
That's a decent price. I might give them a call s they are nice and local.

A years warranty with them too. I messaged them through Facebook and they're very responsive, there was a couple of weeks waiting time but that's obviously a good thing. They also do diamond cutting which is worth knowing!
Yeah I looked on fb and saw they do turning. The wife's dci wheels are corroding on the turned faces so it's good to know somewhere close does them. I'm going to have a fight with Renault over them first though.A years warranty with them too.

In no rush, I just want somewhere that can take tyres off/refit and balance etc as I can't be bothered with the hassle or the extra cost to get that done elsewhere. Thanks for the replies
Took my new set of wheels to LCS Powder coatings last Saturday as was told they would do them Wednesday for me to collect Friday. I went up today (Friday) and they'd not been done. He said they were on with them and they would deliver to me this afternoon. I got a call to say one didn't take and needed blasting again and I wouldn't get them until Monday. No new wheels for me for FCS them. c***s.
Too bloody right!

So I finally got off my backside, and decided to ditch the std wheel's, and bought a set of (very lightly damaged) Turini's.
Took them to Metal Magic (@Mr Plums) ? and I'm very, very happy with the results!
Stripped, powder coated in anthracite then lacquered.
They also fitted and balance the new Michelin PS3 tyre's I ordered from camskills.
And importantly straightened the 2 lightly damaged rims. Only slightly out of shape, but still extra work.
All this for a great price! ?
Unfortunately they couldn't match the centre caps, as they'd melt in the oven. Yet they happily told me Land Rover Bonatti Grey is an almost identical match to the anthracite that they use.
I'm a happy lad ? More pics to follow once I've sprayed the caps, and fitted them
