Not Halifax but Leeds.
I recently picked up some alloys from Project Customs Limited which had just been refurbed but he needed some space in his unit.
Quality looks very good and his setup was impressive.
I don't think he was particularly cheap but the finish is great.

BFITH, no.
Dates back to when we got the car, a bit of blooming on the alloy and the garage has said they'll stand it being sorted.

I had all 4 wheels on a car done by Top Coat who now work from an workshop as you go down into Halifax from Leeds road.

They did a great job - re powder coating.

A guy I know locally moved to a specialist wheel company in Bradford - I think they are called something unimaginative

If this is the right one, ask for Graham - he is a star!

Tom @ Topcoat I'd highly recommend. He's done a fair bit of work on my van. For wheels I'd say powdercoating is probably the way to go but the problem with that is a) matching the finish on all your wheels if you only need 1 doing and b) most places which are cheap (normal powdercoaters) won't remove/replace your tyre and balance it all up afterwards.

It's not powder coating I need.
They are a sort of mix between alloy and then machined alloy, dull/shiny finish.
Then, apparently, lacquered over.
