    Why not have a go yourself?

    Personally unless you know someone who can do them, it will just be another job to them and they prob wont do a job like they would if they were their own wheels! Thats only my opinion on things like this!! Youd be looking at quite a bit id imagine.

    It will be a lot cheaper.

    You might want to get them dipped in acid for a fresh start if they are badly corroded.

    Bargain tho id say!

    theres a place in warrington that will blast, high build prime and powder coat the wheels to any colour for circa 25Quid per wheel. blasting and priming ranges anywhere from 10quid-20quid per wheel depending on where you go.... GazTwo recommended the local guy to me and hes a great chap and did it in a few hours for me! cash in hand obviously
