Look quite orange-peely.

Use to use bjv all the time as are quite close.
I now use autowerks as they are much better at suiting my needs.

I only spray any wheels but when it doesnt cost me anything would be stupid not to. i charge around £100 to spray 4 wheels just the faces and about £150 for the back aswell.

I tend to put a few good coats of lacquer so doesnt chip as easy.

Yep prep and finish them properly and they should be fine.

Im in the middle of doing a set of 17s and all in they will have cost me no more than 25quid to refurb and spray.

Never had any issues in the past with paint flaking off either.

TJ wheels are spot on as Steve said

I paid £160 to have the tyres taken off and off, all four wheels powdercoated inc centre caps. Bargain!
