Default Had my wheels refurbished

Hi all,

Had my wheels done a couple of days ago and only cost £40 a wheel and that includes balancing. The were sand blasted and powder coated. My wheels were pretty wrecked. Going to claim the money back from BMW I only had the car 2 months before the lacquer starting peeling off.

Heres a couple of pics.

I think you may have jumped to early! Did you make a complaint first? Did they tell you to get it done?

They will try and wriggle out of it as it's not done by an approved agent.

Yes I probably have but i've had more serious issues which are being investigated. You may have seen in my other thread so theres a good chance they may do as a good will gesture.

Dunx, is that powder coated though?
I know there is a lot of firms that will just give them a regular paint.
40 quid a wheel is the going rate at most places.
