I'm contemplating having my Fabia VRS wheels powder coated, as they're bubbling like mad after the winter. I've contacted one company who says it'll cost £200 (£50 each wheel), as they're 16", does that sound about right?
Also, this may seem like a daft question, but can they adjust the colour like they can with spraying i.e. different shades/grades of metallic silver, or is it just one shade of each colour?
Any advice/help would be great

That's spot on. My local places are £50 a wheel.

Great, thanks Eck, Tom and Mark. Do you reckon a really white metallic silver would look too cheap? - my Fabia VRS is black. Any pictures of people's powder coated wheels would be good too!

i used to charge around £40 a wheel but know someone that has paid £80 a wheel but his look awesome
his were powder coated black then had a flash of grey over the spokes

I'm taking mine to a wheel refurb place tomorrow, 18 inch BMW msport wheels, getting them done a shadow chrome colour, think its about £60 a wheel, take them there with tyres on, they remove tyres and rebalance etc all inclusive, so £200 or so for yours sounds about right

Agree with this man ! Think it was £30 a wheel without tyres or £40 with tyres fitted last year.
