£50-£60 per rim would be for a full refurb. For just blasting and powdercoating you can get it for about £25 per rim.

Adam,is it possible to do this in a day? my front two wheels have been kurbed quite a bit
so i'd need to fill, n sand them ,rears are fine.
Am thinking of going down the black alloys route for a change.

Think I will have to do this on my alloys previous owner curbed them pretty bad.
Are you just doing this in the garage? do you take them into the house or use a heater to dry them as its getting cold now?
Just wondering would like to do this soon but not best time of year to tackle it,

I've got another set of genuine S-Lines that I'm doing silver at the moment.....just takes a bit longer to dry in this weather but nothing a heat gun won't sort out.
