Wheel refurb

[DomP182]

I've been quoted £260 to get my turinis refurbed, that's not with my tyres fitted and me supplying bare rims. Does this seem about right? It's a long way off the £80 city fefurbs charge but they're 2hrs from me unfortunately

 

[william84]

sounds abit pricey

 

[Adamm.]

£80 is so cheap I'd be worried on the quality of the job. I paid £250 to have my 18" wheels done at a reputable place in Northampton.

 

[Crybert]

I pay £160 for 4, tyres removed and refitted and balanced. I am in Scotland though so most things are cheaper!

 

[Short Norman]

yesterday I got quoted £264 for 4no 19" meg 250 alloys powder coated all black.

Also got quoted £48 for a 16" wheel to be spray painted silver.

That includes removing tyres and refit, plus balancing back up.

 

[YorkshireKyle]

I paid £60 for 15" wheels powdercoating. They're not perfect but the finish is decent enough for track wheels

Aye it's a shithole inside

The building of the powdercoaters that is, we all know its a shithole inside Bradford... ?

Yeah I think it's the captive audience of Herefordshire

 

[DomP182]

That price was just powder coat no refitting tyres.

It was the top link that quoted my that price too, waiting to hear back from Leominster powder coaters which is a bit nearer me, failing that it's worth the trip up to city powder coaters

 

[DomP182]

Both coming in at £65 a rim no tyre fitting/removal, it might be nice scenery around here but not cheap to get wheels done!

I use these guys for all my shot blasting and powder coating. I’m having a set of Turinis done soon (I’ve just gotta get the tyres off) . IN PINK!! He’s quoted me £40 a bare wheel. All the other stuff he has done for me are spot on so I have no doubt the wheels will be too.

Ps, Ask for Stuart and tell him Eddie With the Pink Clio parts sent ya. ?

I pay £120 without tyres and £140 with them for 18" and under. Your's is very pricey imo.

 

[DomP182]

Think I will have a day out to get them done, be cheaper to get them delivered both ways at the prices I've got

 

[frayz]

I’d be interested to see the quality of finish on some of these cheap jobs though.
Anything less than £180 a set of 16s sounds bloody cheap to me.

 

[DomP182]

True mate, might go waving cash see what deal I can get

 

[Eddie555]

This is the example of Bournes work. I dropped the parts off as per the pictures.

I paid £300 something about four years ago from Lepsons (in Gillingham, Kent) 17" wheels collected with tyres, tyres off, refitted and balanced. Flawless service. I'd use them again 100%

What about centre cap painting? How do people normally colour match those? I'm guessing powder coaters wont do them

Nope, one place told me they could spray the wheels and caps rather than powder coat

 

[imprezaworks]

Company we use is 160.

 

[DomP182]

So what's the general opinion on powder vs wet spraying? One place told me dont even consider powder where as others have said powder coat all the way

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Powder coat is more durable

Wet spraying you can have pretty much any colour you want and have centre caps to match!

 

[DomP182]

The one spray place told me powder coat was a bad idea and to avoid, suppose he wanted my business as he didn't do powder

 

[Hxrry]

Only thing about powder is if you get a stonechip chances are a huge chunk of paint will come off lol

 

[Coops Mk1]

Powder is superb for track wheels

Proper paint for road wheels if you want the best finish

That's the division I've always used

 

[Coops Mk1]

Powder

Paint

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Only thing is with powdercoat you have to bake the full wheel which some people seem to think causes stress cracks/warping

Frankly it doesn't, you increase the heat more braking. The curing process for both methods is less than anchoring on at any track

Aye I know mate, I think it's a load of b****cks. They're made from alloy metal, if wheels crack in an oven then it's either way too hot and being operated by a windowlicker or the wheels are absolute horseshite

Those superleggeras look so nice Ben, makes me want anthracite on my flamer eventhough silver more suits, might go for a sparkly flake?

 

[Pistachio]

A place local to me quoted £300 today for 5 turinis. Drive there, they do everything, refit the tyres, new valves, balance.

60 a wheel.

 

[Pistachio]

I don't know, that's the only place I've tried. They do have a good rep. I don't think it's a lot considering all that they are doing.

 

[frayz]

£60 quid a wheel is sod all.

Jack up car
Remove all wheels
Remove tyres
Remove weights
Remove valves
Strip wheels
Inspect for damage
Bake wheels to degas them
Powdercoat wheels to an even finish
Clearcoat wheels to an even finish
Bake
Refit tyres with new valves
Balance wheels
Refit to car

Would you wanna do all that for only £60 per wheel?

If you’re good at something, never do it for free.

 

[william84]

cost time and materials that's a good mark up ?
