Edition 30 BBS Pescara wheel refurbishment
« on: January 26, 2015, 12:01:42 pm »
Hi all,

Im a newbie on here, recently picked up my Edition 30.

I have just been quoted £550 for full refurbishment of all 4 wheels as they are in pretty bad state.

I was told as they are special coated wheels they are more expensive to refurbish.

Can anyone guide me to a recommended refurb company?

All help would be appreciated :)

That sounds a bit dodgy to me! I recently paid £220 to have all four of my 18's powdercoated. I don't think the Pescara's have a 'special finish'  :confused:

Usually you should be looking at about £60 a wheel.

I live in a small village caled Burnham just outside of slough and the company AutoWeks is based in slough trading estate.

They requested my wheels for 3 days as well even though their website states maximum 2 days.

They told me the edition 30 wheels are special edition wheels therefore is not a straight forward refurb and would require a special coat which makes the job expensive.

Thanks for your reply Hedge.

I have since just browsed the previous forums and read about this company mywheels.

How do they compare with silverline wheels and wheels specialists?

Lepsons in Kent, The pescara has got a slightly different finish as its not a standard silver. Older posts on here will reveal the paint code was/is very hard to come by.

To get a colour match they have to be wet painted not powder coated.

I've spoke to 3 different places and all said the same thing. Hence the price.  :happy2:

+1 for MyAlloys who refurbed by BBS VZ's from the Bristol branch, great service and they fitted all 4 tyres for a tenner beer money.
