Most wheel refurb places like to lose the vat in with a cash in hand payment.... I paid £350 for a set of 4 19" wheels to be powder coated, had a choice of 16 colours and a set of wheels to use ont he car while they were being done. Tyre removal and refitting is included.....

GMG said:...my local Audi main dealer uses a mobile (in a van) diamond cutting wheel machine...much quicker than properly powder coating a wheel.
Marky911 said:Alex, any item you produce or rectify on a CNC machine is "precision machined" simply by the very nature of the machine and procedures used to do it.
