Wheel referb
Had the wheels refurbished today at the wheel specialist in Cwmbran. Absolutely an amazing job done and 1 day turn around superb! Can't recommend them enough!

The old man had his PFF7s done there in anthracite for his Spec C RA and did a really nice job, I've heard all good reports so far and good guys to deal with too.

I've used Castle coatings there good and quite cheap but when I went there u had to take the wheels over bare and they took around a week to do them.
I think the wheel specialist is quite expensive but they do a good job from what ive seen and the one day turn around is awesome if its ur daily driver

I am tempted to get my wheels refurbed. If I do I want to use someone local. i live just outside of Usk so Cwmbran is a short hop.
If pennies permit it I ideally hope to buy a set of Grid Drift though.
Depends if I can spirit that much money away without my wife noticing.
She probably will.

Think its PPS coatings or something like that. Just had a quote for mine, 18"s, £140 if i supply without tyres £180 with tyres left on. Started a thread on pistonheads about it and there are a few interested on there so there could be a group buy on the cards. I will try to ring them tomorrow if i can and report back if there is a deal to be done.

Ok, I have spoken to PPS and they have agreed that they can do 18's at £30 per wheel and 16's at £25 per wheel depending on condition but they will cost no more than £30. He did say he will need to see the wheels if there is heavy damage but general curbing will be repaired in the price. He cannot go below these prices as there is no profit in it but I think these are good prices.
If the wheels come with tyres then there is a charge of £10 per wheel for removal, fitting, valves and balancing. This cannot be discounted as he uses a local tyre fitter for this so if you know someone that can do this for you then you could save a little more.
So for a full set of 18's the cost would be £120 without tyres and £160 with tyres and for 16's it's £100 without tyres and £140 with tyres.
Reasonable prices I think!
He only needs us to book in 2 sets to get the discount so it is plain and simple to get your discount, just call 01685 810066 and speak to Keiron explaining that you are calling to book in as part of the group buy he was called about today.
Can I please ask that if you do use them that you reply to this thread to tell us just so we can keep a track of things.
