got price, £15 or there abouts per wheel, but you will have to remove the tires and I will blast them for you. Expert tires will remove and refit a tire for £10 I think so shouldnt cost over £100 all in I'm hoping. Number is 01473 311244, name is Ivan and is based over Parham (spelling?) airfield (he will give directions I'm sure).

getting the tyres off isnt a problem, will just need some temp steel wheels. you still got your old sport wheels?

£15 a wheel is pretty good!

parham airfield? where abouts is that?

yep got my old sport wheels but might have to sell them with my car as my mate is having the black wheels. I will ask if I can have my mates steels when he gets my sxi wheels. As for parham, no idea

No idea, all I know is it's essentially powder coating so I'm guessing it's not wheel re-furbishment, more repainting
