Default Alloy wheel refurb

Found this on the net: http://www.citypowdercoating.co.uk/ £20 a wheel. Anybody used them? 67 miles from me but worth the drive if they are any good.

Not used them, but it's 30 quid a wheel if they have to remove/refit a tyre and another fiver if you're running 20" rims.

It is extremely cheap, so if the quality is OK worth the trip

As an indicator I have had a couple done recently (20s) at £55 for a refurb and £65 to straighten and refurb, but I'm down South so labour rates come into it too.....

The only wheel refurbers I have used for the past 12 years, with consistently good results is Tonbridge-based Spit and Polish. They're not cheap, but I'm a great believer in the adage, "you get what you pay for."
