Default Wheel refurb in the West Midlands

Can anyone recommend a shop to get my wheels refurbed in the West Midlands. They would need to do good work, probably powder coated, and quickly. If they can store the car there while they are doing the wheels it is a bonus as I don;t have anywhere to leave the car without it's wheels other than the street.

Citypowdercoaters in digbeth.

£80 for four wheels any colour any size. That's inside and outside the rim.

PureKlas is a fantastic company that did mine for me.
£240 I paid. They have their own website with good, detailed previous work.

Thanks for the info. Any reason to pay three times the price for one over the other?

I've not experienced Robs powdercoaters, the finish on my rim is beautiful though.
Mine needed refurbing though.
If it is for stock rims and you want to cut cost you could sand down any kerbing yourself? £80 sandblasting sounds a bargain for 4 wheels.

There's kerbing from when the wife drives, but more worrying is the fact that the top coat is peeling in several areas on the original rims. Want to get them redone to look stock but more durable. Powder coating seems to be the be way forward.

Try these people http://www.pristinealloywheels.co.uk/ they have local agents and offer a wheel exchange service. Lots of us have used them and they come recommended.

I have had a couple of sets done at the Wheel Specialists. £ 200 for 4 x 16" and £240 x 4 x 17". Always been happy with the quality and service.

Thanks again for all the info guys. I am around the corner from Pristine on occasion. Anyone have an idea what sort of prices they charge? Also, if the clear coat is peeling on a car that is less than four year old, do I potentially have reason to get Honda to make repairs/replace?
