Anyone know the approx cost for refurbishing alloys? Whats the best way to go about it? Powder coating? I'm slowloy loosing air from front left and rear right due to some slight curbing. Needing to pump air in every fortnight or so..

I've done extensive recon into the price of this as I'm also losing air on both my rears - best price I got was from a company called http://www.thewheelspecialist.co.uk/ which came to £230 for all 4 refurbed to original colour - after I got the emailed quote, a girl called me from the company and said they'd give me a 20% discount if I booked them in with her then and there - making it well under £200 (sadly I had not the funds :()
I got a couple other quotes from local companies and Hull and they all seem to be around £60+ with VAT on top of that.
I believe they acid dip them, dry them out in the kiln, refurb and then powder coat.
Think mine were £170, that was a trade price and without tyres being refitted.
