Guest Smartshark Posted September 12, 2006 Hi, Having just finished polishing and generally tidying up my recently purchased CTI I thought I would get the wheels refurbished. I have been quoted £55 a wheel to have them refurbished so I have decided they are not that bad and can wait until next year. However in the meantime I thought I would have a go myself with an old tatty set purchased off *bay to give me something to do over the winter. See how they turn out and then decide if to use them or not. Would anyone know where I can get them shot/bead blasted in the Reading area and how much it may cost?. Thanks, Paul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rescue dude 0 Posted September 12, 2006 (edited) I had my wheels refurbed at a place in Birmingham called Laptab at a cost of £25 per wheel. They did a good job and if you get to them in the morning you can get them done by the end of the day. Check with them first. http://www.lap-tab.co.uk/alloywheels.php Edited September 12, 2006 by rescue dude Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sonofsam 5 Posted September 12, 2006 Have a look through yell.com for one in your area Shot blasting can be between £10-£20 a wheel depending on where you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonmurgie 2 Posted September 12, 2006 Welcome to the forum, I guess you've not had a chance to look over the entire site yet then (http://www.205gtidrivers.com) as there are some articles on wheel refurbishment: http://www.205gtidrivers.com/articles/w-wheelrefurb1.html http://www.205gtidrivers.com/articles/w-wheelrefurb2.html Give it a go yourself, if it goes wrong then you've lost nothing (maybe a few quid) and can still get them shot blasted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
