   hi, i've got myself a set of vtr alloys
   now i sent them away to be sand blasted to then be told "no, i cant make a good job of these wheels by sandblasting them, especially for good money.."
   
   he quoted £40 a wheel.. just to be sandblasted
   i mean i may aswell just by a new set with tyres.
   
   how have you guys resprayed your VTR alloys?

   £20 per wheel if no tyres
   £30 per wheel with tyres

   £40 per wheel to sandblast is very expensive ! It should be around £10-£20max per wheel.
