They did sort out a few, however 2 were really really fucked. The said that they world need to be alloy welded. So i took them to a place to get them done.... ..... the result was fantastic. Perfect lip all the way round.

I now wish i had taken pics of the wheels before and after. They really were that bad. It cost me £30. I thought that was very cheap and i was very happy with the result.

Depends on what type of finish u want.If u want them powdercoated,then as said above its about £35 a wheel.

However if u just want them painted,u could do them yourself for about £40 tops.

Ive done a few sets for myself and if u spend ur time prepping them up and rubbing them down,u can get them looking spot on.

Lasted as long as i had the car.

And ime,id rather have paint get chipped than powdercoating as paint isnt as thick and noticable.

im sure if you give it enough coats of paint and laquer laguer mainly it will be harder to chip, my issue would be swapping tyres, woulr the tyre fitted mark them both powder coating and paint
