Powder Coat v Diamond Cut?

[irelandbuyer]

Hi there,

I've OEM 20" rims that are in a pretty bad way. I've had quotes in from some refurb operators and the pricing is roughly €80 - €150 per wheel depending on the finish.

I'm wondering what folks think would be best. Keep as per the OEM or just go Powder Coat? BTW, following is the process they outlined:

Diamond Cut €150 per wheel
After tyre removal wheel is undergoing full chemical paint strip , then we proced with shot blasting for aquiring of better adesion of coating , we use 2- 3 stage powder coating and water painting - Powder Primer , Original or different paint if required , than procced to Diamond cutting . We own to date the most advanced equipment in the country that is replicating the finish of the cut directly to a European standard. That means there is no visible difference in quality of the cut compared to original european finish. After diamond cutting the wheel has acrylic powder lacquer applied - another ultimate solution in wheel refurbishment market, the lacquer is durable and hardwearing , jet wash friendly and cleaning chemicals resistant. At the very end we are refitting the tyres on our lever less tyre equipment and balancing the wheels - so the product is ready to go.

Powder Coat €80 per wheel
As above re chemical strip and shot blast but powder coat finish.
