Can any one give me a ball park figer of wot it might cost to have my set of 4 might be 5 wheels refurbished ... Cosworth 3dr wheels

 

i'd say about £60-£70 a wheel mate

 

hello coley, i paid about 180 for my four to be done a while back, that was rediamond cut and laquered, but i must admit they wernt brilliant didnt have that shine like the originals, make sure you get someone good to do diamond cutting, if youre near essex then ive heard spit and polish are very good, 50-60 a wheel.

 

iv herd of them but im up in Birmingham i could have them shiped down but it more £££ on top of the bill . thanks for the heads up mate

 

Try wrc in Preston I've seen their work and its perfect and reasonable

 

A1 Wheels based in wolverhampton.
Used them years ago, cant remember price
Basically strip them back, diamond cut and laquer etc.
Looked very nice when finished.

 

what about pristine wheels?

 

Send them to pristine, just box them up and they collect/deliver included in the price!

 

i have seen wheels done by pristine and they were very good

 

These are the ones we had done at JP polishing in Essex

Before







After




They also fitted the new tyres and balanced the wheels cost £180 for all 4

those rs2k wheels dont look diamond cut after they have refurbed them - just paint.

They looked shinier before.

 

Who said they was diamond cut


Brian

 

yes but the op wants his wheels diamond cut and not just painted as that will reflect differently on price and also finish.

Yours do look good but i prefer them wheels to be diamond cut

 

Oh right i didnt see that he wonted them diamond cut

We didnt have them diamond cut as the car is used every day and they would of been a nightmare to keep looking mint, which is why they was powder coated.

I have diamind cut on my mondeo and once water gets behind the laquer they look shite


Brian

 

agree with you on the water behind the lacquer - it really is a pain on diamond cut rims - but thats how the 3dr wheels came and that is how they should look

I will need to get mine done soon once i get the car on the road.

 

Lap tab on the tyburn road they will do them in a day they aint that cheap but one of the best

 

Have seen there work a few times and to be honest i have not been impressed with it, especially for the prices they charge.

 

i would use one of the major guys -what ever happended to Elite?

They used to be based in slough years and years ago

 

I was looking at going to LAP TAB this a link to them but i do no GAV very well so i will have to have a chat to him to see why he was not to happy with there work . but beside all this dose any one no wot price i might be paying to get it done

Used labtab, bloody crap imo.

 

Right there out of the window then how do you think i should use then 3dr

 

give me a oz of base, 5 sheets of wet n dry and 48hours n i will have them lookin like new!!!!

 

Is that a offer TEV

 

What about getting a machine shop to flash the faces with a diamond bit in the lathe and then get a bodyshop to laquer them up nice.take all the tyre,valves out first so it'll keep your costs down.I'd say two hours in the machine shop @about £ 30ph and about a ton to get them lacquered.I charge about 160-180 a set for a paint refurb and the results are amazing.that includes all tyre fitting/refitting etc.

 

you know me i never bring anything useful to your threads!!

i wouldnt dare touch your wheels i would end up fooking them up!

your welcome to give me 5 sheets of wet n dry though

 

iv got some old stuff in the bin you can have you fuck pig

 

cheers bud i will be over to collect it tomorrow

 

Do you do them then mate
