Yes on the surface it seems about the right price for the wheel refurb, £40 per wheel.

Prices vary from £25 per wheel upto £65. I think you pay for what you get, but I got some wheels that had been refurbed at £30 per wheel and they looked like new, with new OZ Racing sticker on them too!!

Good job, nearly took my to Halfrauds for double that!
Has anyone know how much for a full-blasting sanding down on alloys - since mine are peeling?

I have a friend who works in a powder coating business. He is going to try and sort out my spare set. Rub down with wet'n'dry paper on the edges and beedblast, followed by the levels of powder coating. Never used him before but he said he would do it for £20 per wheel... might be worth a try for me as he is only round the corner plus if it a poor job he will need to keep doing it until he gets it right. Im a bit fussy lol.

If you are refering to the peeling being the paint then im guessing they havent been powder coated.

Not sure if its the paint.
The flaking bit is quite thick...abt 1mm - is that paint?
The alloys were refurbished by the previous owner 2 years ago.
