Refurb or New Wheels?

[Jacey Boy]

I have had a quote to change our 18" Cupra Orion wheels to gloss black (Powdercoated) for £280 + vat, but I see I can buy a brand new set of aftermarket wheels for the same price, which one do you think I should do?, im not sure.....

does that include refurb or just powder coating?
if its powder coating that seems expensive

 

[Jacey Boy]

Both

Both

still seems quite expensive.
i got charged £45 for a repair & paint for 1, but i asked him to quote for the same as you, and he said if i wanted all 4 done it would only be £40 a corner (for any colour).

 

[Jacey Boy]

Was that Powder coated and the wheels taken back to bare?

Thats cool, this guy originally wanted £300 + Vat

 

[chrisboyle999]

for cash i bet theres still a bit more 'negotiation' to be had.

 

[Jacey Boy]

I will try another place local to me, but they are closed until Monday

If they come up better I will snub the other guy

Depends on whether you have strip down on tyres and refit.

Laptab by me will do £40 a wheel if you take the wheel in without tyre. But they charge around £200 + the dreaded VAT if you drop the car off and have the complete service, which involves them taking tyres off and re-fitting them.

I had my Octavia and my Leon done over the last 2 weeks and they can be seen in my below thread.

 

[Jacey Boy]

Yes its the full service, strip off tyres and refit after

 

[doll]

Does still sound a little on the dear side...the walk in the door price for 17's at Laptab was £250 + VAT. But if you can do cash, you can get a deal as I did.

Might be worth trying a little haggling I reckon - yours would be slightly dearer, given that they were 18's, but I wouldn't expect that much.

 

[Jacey Boy]

Its only £280 + vat

I will see Monday what the other company say

 

[doll]

Nah what I meant mate, was the if you drive in it's £250 + VAT for 17's and he's doing them for £200 + VAT.

You said above you only got a £20 reduction (£300 to £280) - I was saying there may be more in the reduction that you can get than £20.
