Alright chaps.

Wondering how much it would cost to powder coat some rims including removal of some kurbing??

roughly on 18's would do..

powder coating wheels aint a good idea, a mate of mine done it on hes evo and hes wheels cracked after a few laps of the ring

paint them only !!!

Rubbish! I had mine refurbed and powder coated nearly a year ago and they are still immaculate.

You will usually pay anything between £60-£100, £40 is very cheap! Bargain!

I pay £20 for a 16" & £25 for a 17" ...as long as they aren't too badly marked

i had some done on my 106 gti track car and they were fine....they were scuffed to hell and back and it cost me 35 a wheel for sorting and coating at metal magic in barnsley and that included removal and fitting of tyres and re balancing...top work too they looked awesome until i got clever and let go of the track at cadwell park in november!!

I know two people who've had alloys crack after powder coating, won't name the company on here.... PM me if interested.

I used LSN Coatings in Castleford and he charged £100 for a set of 17" wheels. Any colour you like !

P.S. I was charged £50 for one alloy painting black

I've just had a set done and picked up last weekend - superb, very pleased with the results. They cost me just over £200 inc all the tyres taken on and off/balanced etc and all the curbing removed - they look like new.

Interesting comments above regarding poor quality finishes - maybe you get what you pay for? Either way - the company that did mine were very professional and have had some awsome cars through there. When i picked my wheels up there were a set of prodrive alloys in black ready too - anyone off here?

the guys where i had mine done said they couldnt bake them for as long as other wheels in case of cracks. because there lightweight or something.the finish on mine are gloss black and perfect.

Mikkel

Actually, I paid £50 a corner, so not as high as I said. I got new tyres as well at the time which I forgot to take into account.

Still looks like I paid more than most

Good job mind you.

I had my wheels powder-coated on both my current and previous Scoobs (not a gold wheel fan). The wheels still looked like new when I sold the old one and look like new on my current one, both after two years or so. I paid around £45 a wheel at Romax in Stockton, and they even fitted a new set of tyres for me for free.

They are painted, powder coating is different and uses much higher temps.

Total BS. I have about 8 sets for my a track car and never have any problems and some of them have been re-coated several times. Metal temperature is between 160 to 210 degrees C depending on the powder and baked for 12-20 minutes.
