Afternoon all. I'm thinking of getting my wheels/stripped/polished/redone/painted or maybe a new set ?? lol I've no idea on prices or the process involved or if they can even be done. Mine are pretty tatty looking close up. Preferably i'd like to find somewhere close to me in South Wales....any ideas anyone.? any info would be great ..thanks these are the wheels in question on my mk1 Fiesta.

Providing the actual casting of the wheel is in reasonable nick, Expect to pay around £30-£40 per wheel for a chemical strip followed by media blasting and powder coating in a normal colour (black white silver etc) to a reasonable standard. Add about £10/15 per wheel if you want them in "shadow chrome" which kind of looks like chrome, but it's a painted finish. It lasts OK but not as well as just a standard silver.
If the wheels need straightening or have heavy rim damage that needs filling, that'll usually cost extra.
You won't be able to polish those wheels very well due to the shape, but the lips could and faces could be diamond cut, but this would be £100+ per wheel and the finish doesn't last. Looks good though.
