veeg33 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 There's a good one in Halifax, 40mins ish from Manchester. After refurb, they will look like show room alloys! I did my mini cooper wheels recently, had them done by a powder coater company hence I need to get them alloys ready myself. £5 each to remove the tyres, £15 each to fit tyres, valve and balanced. That's £80 before you start. Then for all 4-off 16inch alloys, it cost me £120. So £200 in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veeg33 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Got quoted £35 each for 18inch alloys. He's my colleague's brother in law and based in Castleford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudman Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Not local to you but paid £220 all in for stock to shadow chrome and he came to me so totally hassle free Before After Edited August 5, 2014 by Mudman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridz Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I can recommend The Wheel Specialists, who are Manchester based. They did a great job on refurbing my Zed's alloys in January this year, and they still look like new. Great, same day service, with knowledgeable staff. Range of finishes too! Probably £80 per wheel, but ask for a Zed club discount. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seasider Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Around here - Hull - tyre on refurb is about £40-50 per corner - which is usually good enough for me, Tyres off dipping/blasting repair & powder coating is about the same but then you normally get charged a fortune for taking the tyres off the rims plus refitting and balancing. I'd make the call based upon how long you think you'll have the car - I had my badly corroded and battered rays done 3 years ago tyre on and apart from one small blemish they are still perfect. I'd probably only go for the tyre off if I was thinking of keeping the car for several years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N12omc Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 I can recommend the wheel specialist. I used their Cardiff branch but while I was researching I saw great things about the Manchester branch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
