Wheel Repair

[kirbyjohn601]

I’m new here—hope you’re all doing great!

I’ve got a set of wheels that need refurbishing and came across a company called Mario wheel repairs

They’re quoting £340 for a standard paint job on 4 wheels and £390 for a diamond cut finish.

I’ve been trying to compare prices, but it seems like a lot of companies don’t list their prices online. £340 feels a bit pricey to me—does anyone know of a place where I could get this done for less?

Would love to hear your recommendations!

You're not going to get too many UK recommendations on this board as most here are in No. America.

You might want to go on fora involving European marques or, in the case of volvoforums.org.uk, ones which are UK based.
The Volvo guys on the site mentioned above frequently talk about wheel refurbs.

340 GBP = 412 USD or $103/wheel (US), so not that expensive in my single experience.
I had a spare wheel refurbed with a "single color" treatment for $150 recently.
*note: My wheels have a "tombstone" shaped recess in each of the 5 spokes which was painted grey. The bulk of the remaining surface was machine cut and clear coated but the resulting finish just looked like a dull silver color, not the bright silver associated with 'diamond cutting'.
The thick clear-coating on these wheels is what characteristically peels off these wheels,,,starting around the lug bosses.
My Ford wheel is Hollander #3463B, if you want to take a look.
It's a 16" wheel used on Ford Rangers in the 2000's.

I assume I could message a discount from the shop I used were I to bring them the other 4.
