I’m looking for an extra set of wheels for winter tyres. There are plenty of kerbed sets around that I could get refurbished, but I have no idea how much it costs. Any recent experiences? Ta
If only a straight refurb to normal painted ones, then place near us does a cracking (no pun...) job for £50 each.
For acid dipped and powder coated near me it’s £250 I think
I was quoted £200 plus an amount per dent/kerbing. That was for some rostyle steel wheels.
Just got four 19inch diamond cut Merc wheels refurbed before I sell them. £570 but that’s as expensive as it gets with diamond cut. Dent removal and painting for standard wheels would be about £250-300
£50 a wheel from our local chap for a powder coat finish.
Depends where you are. CAS Coatings in Bradford do a brilliant job, I’ve had a few sets done there and they have always looked brand new when done.
Set of 4 x 18” Alloys sand blasted and Powder Coated (any colour)

Cheapest you will find I reckon. But do a brilliant job.
speak with coat tech of carnoustie.
equally i would buy some steelies for winter and run a higher profile narrower tire.
1 - less suceptable to pothole damage in winter - and if damaged not such a ballache to fix/replace
2 - tires are cheaper.
- Nokian WRD4 winters tires to fit the 16 inch alloys on the pug bus were 400 quid. - tires to fit the 15 inch steelies - even with the deeper profile although narrower Nokia WRD4s were 240 quid - even accounting for the 40 quid i paid off faceache for the rims still quids in 😀
Same here, had 4 alloys (18”) refurbed and powder coated for £200 the four.
Thanks all. I'll give coat tech a ring. 👍
Anyone got any recommendations for south east Wales/Bristol area?
Fadda, there is a place in Swindon that get lots of mentions on car forums. Lepsons I think its called.
