Looking good Steve, where did you get them done?

I found these guys HERE.

It will be cheaper for me to ship a set of ZT wheels up to Birmingham and back again down here they want £85 a wheel.

I need the wheels refurbed on the tourer but you are looking at around £90 per wheel locally

Cheers Scott.

Its even the same wheel refurbishment process, how do they do it so cheaply?

... or why is everywhere else so stupidly expensive?

Not sure if they're diamond cut but I'm guessing its the quantities they do.

When i was in there must have been 40 stacks of wheels in so £20*4*40 is £3200 just basic refurb in a day they do more expensive paint options and its £10 to remove and refit the tyres.

Hi Scott. They don’t just do wheels, they also do powder coating on anything you want. There is not much they won’t do in regards to wheel colours.Even thought of having some done in gold for the diesel.

Pop some hub caps on and they’ll look great, Steve!

I wish I could find someone who did it cheaply locally to me - the best quotation I’ve had is £300 for four, which is mad compared to City Powder Coaters. People have recommended CPC for years but you need to be local really.
