From my experience it depends much on how badly damaged the wheels are to start with, which in turns equates to time and money to put them right. I used a local chips away outfit and negotiated a cash price of £60 for two 14" alloy wheels with moderate damage. Best bet is to get a few quotes and look at some work they have already done if poss. Mine lasted about 4 to 5 years before they started to deteriorate again.

powdercoating is a more suitable technique although its expensive..
