   They will need to be sandblasted then powdercoated, i got quoted £50 a wheel for 15". For the nuts you can spray them or you can buy covers off ebay.

   they'll take the wheels off, and once done you can use them straight away. very hard wearing and look top nothc too when powder coated:

   got them done a few years ago now, was about £240 i think but as you can see even a few years on theyre still as new, powder coat is definately the best for finish quality IMO!

    the place that powdercoated mine refurbed them too for the £240 price. A1 wheel renovations in Wolverhampton...most places will probably do the same!
