How much does it cost to powder coat a set of wheels?

Or even 1 because i only need one doing really

Mike brewer reckons itll be £60 a wheel on his tv show

Is he talking shit?

If you want pics they are on fb and will be posted when i get home

And yes, im just a little bit annoyed

 

I payed £50 for blasting and powder coating each wheel here in Norway so I think its realistic mate.

 

I paid £66 per rim with lepsons but i benefited from the free courier service both ways that was worth £50+ on the 4 wheels but the finish is perfect

 

I paid the same as Chris did with lepsons and it's a top job.! Spit and Polish worked out about 20/30 quid more.

 

Place I got mine done stripped down the wheel, blasted, refurb, powdercoated base and clear, tyres back on, new valves, balanced for £47 a wheel on a 16" but they knocked off £50 when I liked their facebook page.

 

im getting the focus wheels done for 60 pound a corner. that includes the refurb too by a company local to me

 

£120 for 4 18" audi s-line wheels

 

I've recently been looking at getting 18" wheels refurbed with center caps and if you have them a standard silver colour I was getting prices around £180.
Powder coating in a different shade or colour I was getting quotes around £220.

 

Got mine anthracite at lepsons, £220 + vat and worth every penny.!

 

thing is, i can't be without the wheels as i don't have a proper sized spare and i will probably need the car most days now

 

I too am looking to get mine powder coated at some point but would like to know if theres any truth about wheels cracking after being powder coated?

 

It doesn't take long to powder coat a wheel mate. Blasting it is the most time consuming. If you arrange it properly then they could probably do it in a couple of hours - depending on their service attitude that is!

 

that's done nice that is Chris.

 

anyone down south do it?

preferably near to heathrow airport that can do a "while you wait" service?

that also comes recommended rather than "these guys have a shop i drive past every day" types

 

Really depends on quality of prep and coating and also on your location. IVE heard of peeps getting wheels done to a pretty good standard for £30 each in brum

 

Can of worms right there.

I looked into it a lot before I got mine done. Most of the stories I read on forums were wheels failing on the track. However, the vast majority showed the cracks or completely destroyed wheels but didn't say how it had happened.

A fair few where also 10+ year old stock wheels that had been powder coated.

The general vibe I picked up seems to be that alloy wheels are not baked at a high enough temperature or long enough to to any damage with a fair few testimonials from race teams etc. Plus many aftermarket wheel companies use powdercoat.

 

What colour is that Brammer. Anthracite or darker?

 

motherfucking puddled of standing bullshit water have fucked up another rim



cunts

Did a fantastic job on mine while I waited, It did take all day but most of the time was removing existing Pcoating and waiting for a set of tyres to turn up.
