Ive just brought a set of Cup wheels that need a re-furb. Theirs no major marks, just small chips on the rims.
would i be better off sending them away, or is it the sort of job most guys on here do them self ?

thank you for looking Mark

Depends what quality of finish you want. For a perfect new wheel send them a way and budget on £60 each

Thank you Steve, i will do a search for a company near me. What puts me off is i had a set done years ago and 2 of the tyres never sealed, so had to have tubes inside :-(

Many thanks Mark

Had a set done for my Scimitar recently and no problems so far. You can also get wheels polished rather than powder coated. They look great but take some work to keep them looking as nice. You can get your wheels done mobile too; easier if you don't have any spare wheels.
