Im not sure. but my Wheels need refurbing too.
Theres a sand blasting company who will...
Sand blast the item,
Treat the metal to prevent rust,
Powder coat
and bake if needed.
Now they did all that to my old BMX frame for £25
So my guess is that £100 should Cover my 4 Mini wheels. But what sort of finish can I get with powder coat. Will they beable to do the same colour as mine already are? (see avanter)
And is £100 good for 4 wheels to be sand blasted and powder coated?

Mate, new Wellers are really cheap!
I wouldn't get this done by someone who doesn't refurb wheels as their trade. Professional wheel restorers will crack test your wheels as part of the process and will tell you if they are gash before going to the expense of refurbing them.
Binge, Alloys don't rust!

lol no, it was just the way he worded it, he ment alloys as in ally wheels! alloy wheels dont rust as they use a non ferrous alloy. But if you were to be politacally corect, both steel and alloy wheels are alloy
