cait Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 It would be Great if we could get a good few prices from up & down the Country maybe several quotes per County (would have to be like for like of course ) because it of course adds a lot onto the price with a courier both ways, so not cost effective We could have a list like we the one we have for insurance Companies on CCUK whats your thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzzzythedog Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 C.A.S coatings in Bradford charge £1 per " inluding sandblasting, not sure if they post though. 15" = £15 plus VAT per wheel. http://cascoatings.localtraders.biz/ seems very good , your talking 20 quid a wheel for a 17`` , bradford being a bazillion miles away means its postal only unless i get a collection together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenMMellor Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 WRC, Lesley. why would it be a special job? maybe a stupid question but if going for one solid colour. there would be no turning involved so no use for a cnc lathe. would just be a matter of media blasting them and powder coating or painting? andy Andy, If you just want to go for a block colour then fine enough it's an 'easy' job to shot blast and powder coat but if you want polished lips or the very fine ridge detail that might be on a wheel then you do need to have these re-cut into the wheel again after they's had the base powdercoat done. An example would be IS200 wheels - as standard the faces of them are diamond cut (looks like the fine ridge details on a vinyl record). It all depends on what you want the wheels to look like as a re-finished product. WRC do a cracking job so whatever you actually need doing so give them a call and get a price. There's details of their work on their sites (www.wheelrepair.com) and thier Favebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are genuine, then really they should be done in black, then the outer section Diamond Cut. It's not a cheap job, but is worth it. If he's just planning to use the wheels himself and not sell the car or wheels it won't matter I guess, until he does want to sell. Les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is pretty much £100 per wheel, you could buy some nice new wheels for just over £100 per wheel, the quote i got was £30 per wheel, but i just dropped of the wheels with no tyres on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can't put tyres back on or off. that sounds ok until locally you get charged a tenner a wheel to remove and refit so theres 40 quid on the price , for the ballache may as well give it to the pros at 50 quid a wheel knowing it will come back mint and if they mark them putting the rubber back on they will repair it rather than shrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planc Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Bear in mind some refubishers may leave the tyre on and mask around the tyre. Ask questions so you get the job you require done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got my Chronos done there, they didn't have any rubber anyway so it worked out fine! When I took them to get tyres fitted I watched them like a hawk. Fortunately the guy doing it had a nice Golf so understood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johndps Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Carrick Alloy Refurb, was called Carrick Engineering, Prestwick, Scotland. Dunno prices to public cos I am trade customer. Imagine no more than 50 per wheel. They remove wheel from car, remove tyre, caps, weights etc. They then straighten the wheel, make it round again, remove dents, prep the wheel then powder coat it. They the put the caps and tyre back on and balance the thing. They then put it back on the car. Lot of work for 50 quids. I don't know of anyone in the Glasgow, Lanarkshire or Ayrshire area that can straighten and make the wheel round again. Except Carrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
