should i accept this?i think it looks a bit pitted, has dry spots and generally pants but i am pretty fussy worried it will look s**t in 6 month time and fall off when i wash it  more pictures the other 3 wheels are okay, feel a bit better... more even finish with very little blemishes ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

looks rather shonky, not enough heat or powder, or the blasting media not cleaned off properly.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Looks like they have not acid etched them to me?Even if they did come out pitted the powder would fill up the holes. I have done hundreds of parts and wheels and they come out perfect every time |

Yeah for £200 that's terrible, if you'd have said £100 then it's to be expected, I'd be taking them back. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

they took wheels off and re-balanced them afterwards i imagine some companies would charge a small amount for that not many companies up here do it, id get my Cyclones done if it only cost £100 guess i better double check they are balanced properly too  ________________________________________ TEAM HIGH BOOST SUPERCHARGED RALLYEMy Rallye project thread |

Not so bad a price if it includes tyre removal and replacement, bit still expensive, especially for that finish.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Poor finish needs re doing I'm sure they will agree tomorrow. However I always hear of places where you can get them done for £30 a wheel or less.... None in my area to my knowledge that get anywhere near that price. There's a company I've used a few times in uckfield for various parts etc and their work is second to none. Perfect finish however they really ain't cheap!! Like 50-60 + per wheel. Would be good to find somewhere local ish to me that does a decent job cheaper to be honest. ________________________________________ Black power baby!

Is tht just for a straight powder coat or with prep etc first? The company I use tend to shot blast everything first which is what costs the £££ it's almost worth a trip somewhere to get them done for a fraction of the price.________________________________________ Black power baby!
