9 spoke refurb?

Hello!  

Does anyone know how much you should expect to pay for a basic refurb of mk1 9 spoke alloys? I only need two doing - they're not too badly damaged, just a few scratches from kerbing, they'd been sprayed some time ago and it's coming off in flakes now! The rear two are immaculate so I'd like them to all look as good! What options are there for refurbs? Never had it done before…ops:

Thanks for any advice.  :wink:

You might get a cheapo job done for ?25 per wheel but I'd budget more like ?40 per wheel.  They need to be powder coated and laquered if you want them to last.

when im set up i will charge ?35 per wheel…

i have a set of 9 spokes i will be refurbishing the faces of them some time this or next week which i will be selling for ?150 if anyone is interested

Thanks for the advice peeps.    Ta G6eorge, I'd love to cut out the hard work and buy a newly refurbished set of alloys, but just cant afford it.  :cry:  I'll have to settle for getting two of my existing ones done in the near future. Cheers anyway. I'm sure they'll be snapped up soon.  :wink:

Got all 5 of my 9 spokes done for ?160 in Prescott, Liverpool…Pro-Clean I think they were. See the other posts from c13tay.

?32 a piece then. I've just got to get round to it now. Thanks for the info!  

You'll probably not get the paint match quite right between the okay ones and the flakey ones - one way round it is to fit both refurbed ones on one side of the car - then you'll not see one and another together.  You need to be careful weith tyres though.

If its the front ones that are flakey - make sure your front brakes aren't binding on and heating up too hot and busting the paint off that way.

Thats a thought, puttin the refurbed ones on one side! I'll look out for extra damage at the front, but they were already flaking before I put them on the car so it's hard to tell. Thanks for the advice though!

I can get any size wheel refurbed at ?35 a wheel and trust me they do a PuKKA job, all blasted and sealed and Powder Coated in a range of colours and effects. Based in Birmingham. gimem a shout if u want em done witout tyres tho please.
