Hi guys I'm about to get my Mondeo 9-spokes (16") powdercoated and wondering if I'll be in for a shock when it comes to the price as it's been a few years since I got a set done. I usually use ESP (near Possil) but have noticed there's a franchise one in EK www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ but from what I can see it's about £200 a set. Before I go phoning round has anyone had their wheels done recently for a reasonable price?  |

Thanks for that domino1071. That would've been handy but I was determined to drop them somewhere and took them to ESP Coatings (Stronend St, Possil) after checking with the Wheel Specialist franchise in EK. Basically the EK one wanted 55 per wheel (£220) plus VAT which took it up to £264. They weren't open till Monday so I headed into Town. I'd called ESP and he also said £220. When I got there I asked him if they also added VAT and he explained they used to but aren't now VAT registered so they don't need to. Guy says he'll prob do them on Wednesday so I may be able to collect them Saturday. Also £10 on each wheel was for removing/re-fitting/valve/balance as I took them with tyres on. So if you took bare (16"s) it would only be £180 |

Well I got the wheels back today and they look great. £220 all in. Quite hard to get decent pics of the finish, due to the brilliant weather we're having. As the guy anticipated one of my wheels shows a bit pitting. This is because it was a lot more corroded than the other 3. I don't mind tho as I had 8 wheels. My original 4 which were all pretty corroded and 4 2nd hand ones which were in better nick but one had a dented rim so I gave the powdercoaters 3 of the new set and 1 original.  original wheels were more corroded than 2nd set pictured at start of thread nice finish pitting visible on one wheel as it was one of the badly corroded originals |
